It seems like a million years ago in 2012 when a wave of bright eyed and bushy tailed tech workers arrived in San Francisco with… E-Cigarettes in hand. Yes, they thought AI and driverless cars would be safe as much as they believed smokeless tobacco to be safe.

I immediately warned them back then it was a bad idea, but now the science is in to deliver common sense in a very fancy bow.

…some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

Twenty packs a day.

It’s just like how some driverless cars kill far more people than traditional cars.
