First off, smoking is different from vaping. No one 'smokes' an e-cigarette. No combustion whatsoever takes place when using e-cigarettes, whereas smoking cigarettes involves combustion.

It could also happen as
Na0Cl + 2HCl ———-> NaCl + H20 + 2Cl- (harsh)
Cl- + Cl+ —————> Cl2 (violent)
From this mixture, chlorine gas is produced, which can cause airway damage and ensuing reactive airways dysfunction syndrome.

When analyzing data, it is important to know what you are doing because data will always 'confess,' or reveal patterns and findings, but that doesn’t mean they are always sensible or true, even if they appear to be.

Yes! But how is a young researcher or academic, earning less than 200 USD per month, expected to pay an open access fee of 2000 USD when they don't have access to grants? This is a subtle research inequity; if you can pay, your work gains more visibility.

Starting with 6 eggs:
After breaking 2, you have 4 eggs left (2 broken + 4 intact = 6)
Frying those 2 broken eggs doesn't change the number of eggs.
Eating those 2 fried eggs also doesn't change the number of eggs.
So, you still have 4 eggs
