Study: Vaping is 95% Less Harmful than Smoking

Source from:  Belfast Telegraph 09/05/2016

We know from independent studies by Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians that vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking.

The study referred to in your report looked at the effect of vaping on blood pressure and blood vessels, and found that vaping can cause arterial stiffness, something we already knew.

Most of the changes in this study were induced by asking participants to puff continuously for 30 minutes. Obviously this is not what happens when vapers use their devices in real life.

It is important when reporting that the study in question is subjected to critical analysis. Failure to do so can create a false impression that vaping is more harmful than it actually is and may put some smokers off switching to vaping. Enditem
