From the wonderful website Retraction Watch:
Journal retracts hotly contested paper on vaping and heart attacks
The Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) today retracted a paper it published last year claiming that vaping was linked to heart attacks.
The paper, by Dharma Bhatta and Stanton Glantz of the University of California, San Francisco, has faced a barrage of criticism since its publication last June — and Glantz’s claims, in a blog post, that the study was “More evidence that e-cigs cause heart attacks.”
It is still a foul habit but not the health-threat that some nannies were making it out to be. Lots more at the site - looks like some pretty poor science. They went in with an agenda and cherry picked their data to fit it. Bad Science!
