I honestly think that this is kind of the last push back from the anti-vaping lobby.
Times are changing, the reality is that the black market is so widespread that even BAT is thinking of get out of the Australian market and leaving to the gangsters.
Disposable vapes and cigarettes are everywhere.
The anti-vaping and anti-smoking lobby has tried everything for 10 years in Australia and it has so obviously failed.
From " we do not know the long-term effects", " they did not even want admit thag vaping is safer then smoking" " the youth epidemic, think about the children", " every vape is doing your harm", " keep up the tax increases, we know it works".
Everything has failed. And it failed spectacularly.
The government is forced to do something about it seriously, is there a reform coming?
So what is left for the anti-vaping lobby?
The ultimate scare campaign. Cancer.
Now they will go with "vaping causes cancer" the media will go with it for a day or two. But way more serious things are happening in the world and country, so the attention on this scare campaign will fade quickly.
Will it change anything on the ground? I do not believe so.
It might scare some politicians to take some serious steps in regards of changing the current situation.
Yes, this whole thing is BS science, but it doesn't matter, what matters are the headlines and short summaries that will stay in peoples heads.
But after this latest scare campaign whats left?
With what else can they try to scare the people and politicians?
The multiple and severe limitations of this paper are very obvious, especially the lack of comparison with smoking when the overwhelming majority of people who vape are smokers trying to quit. What is particularly telling about this study is the enthusiastic response from scientifically educated anti vaping activists who should have known better and acknowledged that this is crap science. Of course there’s an obligatory swipe at Big Tobacco although vaping wasn’t developed by tobacco companies and tobacco companies are only responsible for a small share of global vapes. And prey what would be wrong with tobacco companies switching from selling deadly cigarettes to selling much, much safer but not risk free nicotine products including vapes?
Thank you for an awesome interpretation of wat's happening. I'm lucky at nearly 70 to not give a fuck, but I care enuf to mix e juice for two family members, my best friend and my butcher and his family.
And no, if I considered vaping to be not less harmful than combustible tobacco inhalation I wudnt be pushing it anywhere, especially to my daughter n daughter.
