Vaping misinformation is a harmful problem that the NHS has identified as a serious barrier to helping smokers switch. As found in an expert independent evidence review published by Public Health England (now the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities),
The best current estimate is that vaping is about 95% less harmful than smoking. Despite this finding, 32% of smokers incorrectly believed that vaping was as risky or more harmful than smoking.
E-cigarettes are devices that generate vapor by heating a liquid containing nicotine and other ingredients, simulating the sensation of smoking without producing harmful substances such as tar and carbon monoxide. E-cigarettes are considered an effective smoking cessation tool that can help smokers reduce or stop using traditional cigarettes, thereby reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and other smoking-related diseases.
However, the e-cigarette industry is also plagued by misinformation and false information that may mislead the public and policy makers and hinder the development and popularization of e-cigarettes. For example, an FDA-funded study falsely claimed that e-cigarette use negatively affects health and increases utilization and costs. The study did not take into account that e-cigarette users are mostly former or current smokers, and that e-cigarettes may reduce health care spending on treating sick smokers.
Another example is the 2019 outbreak in the United States of lung injury associated with e-cigarette or vaping product use (EVALI). The CDC has adopted the name “EVALI” for this condition and has refused to change that name, leading to widespread and persistent misinformation about the cause of this condition. In fact, the main reason for EVALI is illegally fortified cannabis products with vitamin E acetate, not legally marketed nicotine-containing vaping products. This misinformation could lead people to believe that all vaping causes lung damage, discouraging them from using vaping to quit cigarettes.
Therefore, in order to unlock the true potential of e-cigarettes and help millions of people who want to quit cigarettes, increased enforcement is needed to combat illegal and low-quality vaping products, while providing accurate and balanced information to the public and policymakers Differences and relative harm between e-cigarettes and cigarettes.
