"In the interests of public health, it is important to *promote* the use of e-cigarettes/vaping, NRT and other non-tobacco nicotine products *as widely as possible* as a substitute for smoking"

The Royal College of Physicians is a British professional body dedicated to improving the practice of medicine, chiefly through the accreditation of physicians (36,000 - 2019) by examination. Founded in 1518, set the first international standard in the classification of diseases & was the first to speak out on the dangers of smoking.
Public Health England:
Our advice on e-cigarettes remains unchanged - vaping isn’t completely risk free but is far less harmful than smoking tobacco. There is no situation where it would be better for your health to continue smoking rather than switching completely to vaping

All UK e-cigarette products are tightly regulated for quality and safety by
@MHRAgovuk. It’s important to use UK-regulated e-liquids and never risk vaping home-made or illicit e-liquids or adding substances, any of which could be harmful
Smoking kills thousands every year & creating a smokefree generation is one of our top priorities. Vaping is a fraction of the risk of smoking and makes it much more likely you’ll quit successfully than relying on willpower alone. The sooner you stop smoking completely the better
Our new 5-year strategy launched this week sets out our aim to create a smoke-free society by 2030

"It would be "tragic" if people kept smoking cigarettes because they haven't tried vaping."
"We have a certainty on our hands which is the ongoing harms of people smoking against the possibility, remote, with very little real evidence of long term harm from vaping."
- Public Health England Director of Health Improvement John Newton
An anti-vaping standpoint at this stage is actually flat-earth grade idiocy by people who are easily misled by those who are corrupt, incompetent & part of a vast organised crime network in the US
Flavors hook kids argument is BS, they vape for a nicotine buzz, not flavors. These bans will do nothing for kids but will kill many of their parents & grandparents if they return to smoking.
Adults don't like flavors argument really doesn't need any explanation and can be summed up in 2 words: Flavored alcohol.
.
"Youth epidemic" is utter nonsense where they use past 30-day experimentation to class as use. 1 puff in the last 30 days is a vaper? Get real. That was used to claim as an epidemic and launch mass shock disinformation campaigns that ultimately lead to more youth use.
"Vaping experimentation *does not* turn into regular vape use"
"Levels of daily e-cigarette use in young people, who have never smoked, remain *very low* between 0.1% to 0.6%"

"The reason this rise of anti-vaping propaganda based on weak science, misinformation & hysteria backfires is because they trigger curiosity, psychological reactance, rebellion & cognitive dissonance in young people.

The flawed & disturbing ethics of trading-off youth vaping & adult smoking
"dying in agony from cancer or the debilitating misery of COPD & adolescent vaping, which is, objectively, a low-risk behaviour with minimal health consequences."

Metal, formaldehyde, popcorn lung or any other types of claimed exposures.
Many of these junk studies used to cry foul have serious methodological flaws where they overheat the coil in the vape device beyond that of normal or even realistic use.
Levels of anything harmful found in normal use are thousands of times lower than in smoking and at levels too low to cause harm. Or they torture animals by exposing them to unrealistic conditions like 24-hour constant exposure when adult humans with thousands of times higher body weight vape at most 20-30 mins a day.
No lung damage. The key finding from long-term study investigating health impacts of vaping. Conducted by Dr. Riccardo Polosa, world-renowned researcher & director of Institute for Internal Medicine & Clinical Immunology at University of Catania.
"A plethora of poor-quality studies are emerging these days. An army of researchers who need to be educated properly, reiterating the same mistakes over & over again."
- Prof R Polosa
Resurrecting rigour in THR research:
Latest problems are from black market THC oil. The cases where CDC & other health authorities *claim* they weren't using it is where they ask the patient and assume they are telling the truth. So you are going to take the word of someone who is worried about the consequences of admitting to partaking in illegal activity? They haven't actually tested them.
Vaping is being banned (banning flavors is a full ban) in many states (which have used emergency powers to bypass proper procedures, they will be coming after your rights next) and vape shops are now closing, destroying a life-saving industry that has helped millions of Americans quit smoking (vaping proven to be the most effective smoking cessation aid). Small vape shops that employ local people who have never sold to youth.
For anyone that thinks they are an expert based on trash headlines/news stories that omit facts, top results from Google search, biased fact-free Wikipedia pages or from some bizarre simpleton idea of "don't inhale anything but air" completely ignores the complexity of this subject, the problem vaping is solving (helping end the death and disease caused by smoking, the *real* science behind it & the disruption vaping has caused to established smoking money reliance that reaches further than you could possibly imagine.
"Nationwide network includes government bodies at local, state, federal & international level; charities; grassroots organizations; universities; & even scientists. Seemingly independent, in fact deeply financially interwoven."

Look up The
Master Settlement Agreement. Blood money that funds your United States.
Look up the past ethics violations of your beloved CDC & FDA. CDC knows full well it is black market THC oil causing the current illnesses & deaths but is purposefully & criminally disinforming the public by remaining vague & pointing the blame towards life-saving nicotine vaping products that still haven't harmed anyone when used as intended, let alone killed them.
Look up how Bloomberg & his corrupt media empire & Pharma friends who are now releasing a Pharma vaping product.
Look how tobacco stocks mooned when Trump talked about flavor bans (making a fool out of anyone who claimed vaping was just a play by Big Tobacco).
God Bless America.
