@QuackGuru: you reverted my edit to put an image the top of the article. If you dont like that image, please pick another one. The article should have another one, and there are plenty of options in the article below. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:36, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

There is an image next to lede without interfering with reading the lede. See Safety_of_electronic_cigarettes#cite_ref-48. QuackGuru (talk) 20:40, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Citation requested for summary

QuackGuru, regarding this request for a citation, do you disagree that the later sentences (which are referenced) support this summary sentence, or do you favor copying all the citation from the detail sentences to the end of the summary sentence? -- Beland (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Those citations do not verify that claim. No citation has been presented that verifies the content. QuackGuru (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

CDC images

The images copied from CDC documents are not accessible to visually impaired readers, because they are pictures of text rather than actual text. Typically this type of information is simply incorporated into the article text, and the CDC documents can be cited as a source. -- Beland (talk) 19:35, 5 February 2020 (UTC) The CDC images should be kept not deleted. No every person like to read articles. QuackGuru (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Merge from Adverse effects of electronic cigarettes

The concerns of multiple editors at Talk:Safety_of_electronic_cigarettes/Archive_4#Why_two_articles? have not been addressed. There is a lot of overlap between the two articles, especially on nicotine and aerosol, which are outside of the "Adverse effects" section of the safety article. If the current length of both articles is to be maintained, they should be split along a more logical dividing line. But I agree with the editors who commented that both articles currently contain an excessive amount of detail, and if trimmed to an appropriate length would be short enough to merge. -- Beland (talk) 19:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

I disagree with the recent mass content deletion. Each article is too long to merge together. It was reverted and a new article was created. See https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Safety_of_electronic_cigarettes/Archive_4#Article_length QuackGuru (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
