Some good news for a change from across the pond. So good that I thought I’d publish it here.
Article 1 : E-cigarettes around 95% less harmful than tobacco estimates landmark review
Click it to read it. From the article…
- the current best estimate is that e-cigarettes are around 95% less harmful than smoking
- nearly half the population (44.8%) don’t realize e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking
- there is no evidence so far that e-cigarettes are acting as a route into smoking for children or non-smokers
E-cigarettes are not completely risk free but when compared to smoking, evidence shows they carry just a fraction of the harm. The problem is people increasingly think they are at least as harmful and this may be keeping millions of smokers from quitting. Local stop smoking services should look to support e-cigarette users in their journey to quitting completely.
Article 2 : England Officially Announces Support For Vaping
Click it to read it. From the article…
In an unprecedented move, Public Health England, a government health organization has announced their full support in offering vapor devices to aid in smoking cessation. Marking the first time any government health agency, anywhere in the world, has publicly announced it is pro vaping.
Let’s hope the TPD doesn’t stall this great momentum.
