From Steve Forbes – Vaping Versus Tobacco: The Truth You Need To Know – “MISINFORMATION AND OUTRIGHT LIES”
Republished from the original article and video found HERE.
This segment of What’s Ahead tackles the mortally misbegotten campaign against electronic cigarettes. The attacks are factually false. Contrary to the antivaping narrative, e-cigarettes are the best, least harmful way for smokers to give up tobacco. By discouraging smokers from switching to e-cigarettes, antivapers are consigning hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of people to painful, premature death. While a growing number of teenagers vape, they are not moving on to cigarettes. In fact, cigarette smoking among teens has plummeted.
Contrary to what happens in the U.S., Britain encourages smokers to switch to vaping.
We should do the same.

Tennessee Voices, Episode 79: Dimitris Agrafiotis, Tennessee Smoke Free Association
This is an excellent interview/conversation between David Plazas of the Nashville Tennessean and Dimitris Agrafiotis. Very proud to call Dimitris my friend. Very well done!
The original article/interview can be found HERE.
Dimitris Agrafiotis smoked for 23 years, unable to kick the habit despite many attempts and treatment alternatives.
That changed when he discovered vaping, or smoking e-cigarettes that vaporize nicotine instead of combusting it like regular cigarettes do.
As executive director of the Tennessee Smoke Free Association, he represents “mom-and-pop” vape shops and has worked on regulations as well as fighting myths and threats to their businesses.
Those threats include vendors that sell products to minors, as some of the bigger companies have done, including Juul.
That’s especially relevant now that a Stanford University study found that teens who vaped were five times more likely to become infected by COVID-19 than those who did not.
Agrafiotis said his association supported a state law banning sales of e-cigarettes and vaping products to anyone under 21.
He also said the lung diseases caused by e-cigarettes filled with cannabis oil caused officials nationwide unfairly to lump all vape vendors together.
When he is not working, Agrafiotis and his family are doing home remodeling projects and streaming programs on Netflix, Amazon Prime or YouTube, including “America’s Most Wanted,” “Tiger King” and “Narcos.”
Op-Ed by Dimitris Agrafiotis:Vapor products can save lives by helping smokers quit
VTA COMBATS BASELESS STANFORD STUDY ON VAPING AND COVID-19
This week, Stanford University released a “study” linking youth vaping to COVID-19. The analysis and the media coverage of this study misrepresented the facts. There is no scientific evidence that supports the claim that vaping can be linked to COVID. VTA published the below statement in response to the study.
RealClearHealth has published an article that calls out the legitimacy of these studies and reiterates that there is no scientific evidence linking vaping to COVID-19. We ask you to promote this article on your social channels to help spread the truth.

From Kate
Hi Phil (and Dimitri), Don’t usually do this but just wanted to say what a great job you’ve done with the Zlide. I’ve been vaping for 7 years and hadn’t really taken much notice of what is currently available but my daughter & son-in-law finally decided to give vaping a go so I needed to find them something not too expensive (or big), easy to use and reliable. I ended up getting them a Coolfire Z50 kit each and it is perfect! You’ve thought of everything!
I’m in the UK and started vaping in 2013 when the EU TPD was in progress (threat of medicinal licence & 4mg nicotine) so had to advocate from get go. We are doing OK in the UK now but I am watching the US situation with disbelief and hope it improves for you all. I continue to do everything I can to support vaping and it feels never ending doesn’t it? – I still have to complain regularly to the media here about disinformation and ignorance.
For me (smoked for 38 years) it has been a miracle. It often feels like a losing battle but then I remember how many people vaping will help avoid serious smoking related illnesses and death. My husband never tried vaping, I couldn’t persuade him. Then he got throat cancer and had a laryngectomy. He now breathes through his neck and can’t smoke or vape. As you can imagine this keeps me focused and very grateful to everyone else who also keeps advocating even when it seems pointless and exhausting. I suppose what I’m saying is thank you for the kit but also for everything else you both do, Kate
