This HN post is literally about vaping being harmful.

...in the same way that stories about trans fats were about eating being harmful.

No, but that's exactly what people have been and will be taking from sensationalist media. If anything this post confirms that at least in the acute timeframe, the overwhelming majority of vaping is safe, becaus vitamin e is not used in nicotine cartridges/juices or most thc carts.

I can't tell if media is ruining society or if society has ruined media.

Some vaping suppliers added at lest one harmful ingredient which caused some deaths.

I suppose you could make a case that it's not that bad, or that it'll not happen again, or that patrons of brightly-lit stores have lower risks.

Instead, you're making a case that this proves the safety of all vaping products not tainted with this specific ingredient. That was not very convincing.
