Study Investigates the Effect of Vaping on Indoor Air Quality – “E-Cigarettes Are Not Emission-Free”
Overall, this study provides further evidence that any bans on vaping in public places are not based on science, but fear and irrationality.
If there was one rule for conducting scientific studies on a topic, it would be to make sure you understand it first. But with e-cigarettes, that is not what happens. All too frequently, vaping researchers know almost nothing about vaping, and the result is invariably a study that ends up discouraging smokers from making the switch. Here are some of the worst offenders.
A new study being touted as evidence that vaping is a gateway to smoking really only shows that "teens who experiment continue to experiment," and actually provides a pretty solid blueprint for showing vaping is a gateway to anything you want. Here's how to design a study to "support" whatever gateway claim you like.
While in the UK, the Royal College of Physicians and Public Health England wholeheartedly endorse vaping and actively refute many of the absurd claims made in opposition of e-cigs, the CDC’s prohibitionist, alarmist mindset continues unabated.
For those intent on claiming that e-cigs are a gateway to conventional cigarettes, the new Monitoring the Future study has a pretty devastating result: it turns out, most teen vapers don’t even use nicotine.
Apparently not satisfied with their first attempt at misleading the public about the extent of e-cigarette use among young people (nor with stoking the fires of the absurd e-liquid poisonings fears), the CDC has published a new study.
In a recent study which found that 74 percent of people who started using an e-cigarette didn't smoke a cigarette for at least a few weeks, there was also a more unexpected result. The researchers found a statistically significant difference between the numbers of ex smokers and current smokers using a more advanced tank system.
As ex-smokers, many vapers have actually tried nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) before. This encompasses things like gums and patches, which offer some nicotine in the hopes of minimizing withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit smoking.
A new study from the UK has found that the number of 10 to 11 year olds who’d ever tried e-cigarettes was actually higher than the corresponding number for tobacco cigarettes, with the researchers arguing the finding "reinforces concerns" about a potential gateway to smoking.
A new UCSF study headed by Stanton Glantz has concluded that e-cigs don't aid in smoking cessation. So how did they come to this conclusion?
A new piece of research has been released suggesting that the primary benefit of e-cigarettes, that they help people quit smoking, isn’t true when it comes to cancer patients.
Despite criticisms that vapers are simply continuing in their nicotine addiction, a new study has provided evidence that e-cigarette users are much less addicted to vaping than they once were to smoking. Not only do e-cigs drastically reduce harm, they curb addiction too.
A new study from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos compares nicotine delivery from first generation e-cigs and newer electronic cigarette devices.
Many companies have cropped up in recent years touting the benefits of vaping vitamins, but is it really a good idea? Will it work? Is it safe? Here's what you need to know.
A new study from UCL researchers takes a look at the facts behind the youth vaping "epidemic" declared in 2018. Looking at the data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) calls many anti-vaping claims into question.
A new systematic review on e-cigarettes, suggests that e-cigs should be banned in all public places and subject to tobacco-like marketing restrictions.
A new longitudinal study published in Addictive Behaviors has provided evidence that “dual users” of both e-cigarettes and tobacco cigs generally reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke or quit entirely, as well as offering an insight into the behavior of us now-vaping ex-smokers.
A new study compares vapers to smokers in terms of their exposure to toxic chemicals. Stanton Glantz claims the study shows that most vapers "might as well smoke," but is it true?
If you want a constant stream of junk science on a topic, one thing you’ll need is some researchers willing to crank out a shoddy paper in support of your cause, ideally without putting too much work into it. And the University of North Carolina's Rebecca Williams has mastered the art.
Are teens who try e-cigarettes more likely to try tobacco cigarettes? Stanton Glantz believes e-cig use may promote smoking.
