“Cancer Council Australia and Australia’s Heart Foundation has issued a “fact sheet” to Australian politicians. The document is a shameless, ideologically driven list of lies and half-truths. They attack vaping as the best method for quitting smoking, the fact that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking, and that it is mainly long-term smokers who have switched to vaping. They deny that traditional methods of tobacco control have resulted in smoking cessation flat-lining in the country. They claim experts all oppose vaping and that Australia’s approach isn’t out of step with Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the United Kingdom. Finally, they say the proposed medicalisation of nicotine will not result in job losses and vape shop closures.”
