“A 2020 report by an American advocacy group, the Consumer Choice Center, debunks the common belief that “vaping is the gateway to smoking for adults and adolescents.” Titled “Vaping and the Gateway Myth”, the report highlighted findings that vaping is 95 per cent less harmful than smoking. It also presents a viewpoint that vaping actually helps conventional smokers “divert from traditional and harmful tobacco consumption.” The report also emphasises that vaping products were designed to offer smokers a safer way to consume nicotine, with the target being adult smokers. The British National Health Service has already said nicotine, on its own, is relatively harmless and adds that “almost all of the harm from smoking comes from the thousands of other chemicals in tobacco smoke, many of which are toxic.””
