Regulators’ decisions need to be based on sound science rather than unsupported assertions and media-driven hysteria, but we increasingly see more weight given to the latter when it comes to e-cigs.
A new study has found that for every e-cig pod not purchased as a result of raising taxes on vaping, 6.2 additional packs of cigarettes will be sold on average.
A new study from CDC researchers has revealed that vaping is the most popular quitting smoking aid in the US. It might not sound exciting, but when you take a look at the numbers, the study strongly suggests that vaping is helping more smokers quit than FDA-approved treatments.
A new survey of Minnesota-based middle and high school students has provided further evidence that the potential gateway to smoking is not a genuine concern, but, as is the pattern with such studies, it’s being presented as showing the exact opposite.
A new study from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos compares nicotine delivery from first generation e-cigs and newer electronic cigarette devices.
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 recent study from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos and colleagues suggests that unlike cigarette smoking, vaping doesn’t have any adverse effects on acute heart function.
A recent French study concludes that e-cigs are potentially carcinogenic. To find out what they actually determined from the test, it’s very, very important to look what they did to come to their conclusion. The answer would literally melt your face off.
After the release of a new study looking at formaldehyde in e-cig vapor, the media has gone into a predictable frenzy of fearmongering. But what does the evidence really say?
In a new study, the profound level of public misunderstanding about tobacco harm reduction products like chewing tobacco, snus and e-cigarettes has been revealed. Among other findings, the study suggests that around half of those who’ve heard about e-cigarettes believe them to be either as harmful as smoking or even more so.
A new study from Professor Riccardo Polosa and colleagues investigates the improvements seen in asthma-suffering smokers who either notably reduce or entirely quit smoking due to vaping.
A recent study found that about a quarter of teens who've vaped have tried dripping, and the media wants you to be very worried about that. The truth is, though, the risks of dripping have been blown hugely out of proportion.
A new study from the UK looks at the effectiveness of different methods for quitting smoking using real-world data. The results show that vaping is the most effective approach, helping more smokers quit than Chantix, NRT and all other approaches.
A new study has offered further evidence of the harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes, finding that e-cig vapor is less toxic to lung cells than cigarette smoke, and that it also produces less oxidative stress.
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.
One of the most contentious issues surrounding vaping is whether it really helps smokers quit. People opposed to vaping often argue that there just isn't enough evidence to say one way or another, or might even claim that it actually reduces quitting rates. They're wrong, and here's why.
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.
New study suggests that smokers who choose to quit by vaping are successful more often than self-selected cold turkey or NRT users, when no further support is provided.
A new study looking into the effect of e-cigarette vapor and liquid on the lungs has found evidence of oxidative stress, inflammation and toxicity, and suggests that dripping is likely worse for you than using a clearomizer or tank. The good news is that while e-cigarettes may be worse than air, the study does indicate that e-cigarettes are much safer than cigarettes.
A new piece of research has investigated the concentrations of nicotine, carbon monoxide and various volatile organic compounds after e-cigarette use, and compared them to those from a traditional cigarette.
