Original Note:

The author had a study retracted for this same reason. https://retractionwatch.com/2020/02/18/journal-retracts-hotly-contested-paper-on-vaping-and-heart-attacks/ https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.119.014519 https://clivebates.com/vaping-risk-compared-to-smoking-challenging-false-dangerous-claim-by-stanton-glantz/ Explanation of the flaws in this study https://www.ecigarette-research.org/research/index.php/research/2024/281-ecig-disease https://dictionary.apa.org/correlational-fallacy
