If in the past Tabac Info Service has often denigrated electronic cigarettes, today things seem to have changed. Although we are still far from perfect, Tabac Info Service is making clear progress on its communication concerning vaping.
E-CIGARETTE CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A HELP TO STOP OR REDUCE TOBACCO
It is far from time or ' Tobacco Info Service "Ignorantly declared" The electronic cigarette is an industrial product, it is not a medicine. The dangers of its use are not yet known, and it has not yet been shown to be effective in quitting smoking. Better therefore to abstain. "(see our article), today this service dedicated to smokers which offers different solutions to quit smoking, including interviews with tobacco specialists, no longer hesitates to highlight the electronic cigarette.
To a concern about the e-cigarette asked by a smoker on June 26th, the “Tabac Info Service” team replied that “ The e-cigarette can be considered as a help to stop or reduce tobacco consumption "And that" smoker who becomes a vaper, that is to say who consumes only e-liquids reduces his risk of developing diseases related to tobacco". But that's not all ! It seems that scientific studies have been taken into account by Tabac Info Service since they go so far as to declare " Vaping is less dangerous than cigarettes, it's a given“, A speech that was still unimaginable a year ago.
Finally, Tabac Info Service did not hesitate to include the electronic e-cigarette as a “strategy” to stop smoking on its website. Grand Site website while stating that According to the latest work of the High Council of Public Health, e-cigarettes can help stop or reduce smoking. ".
TOBACCO INFO SERVICE: IN PROGRESS BUT MAY DO BETTER!
Just like a student who has just obtained his report card, we will give Tabac Info Service a mention " In progress but can do better". Because indeed, if the structure has progressed, there are still points that would make some activists of the personal vaporizer jump. In its formatted speech, Tabac Info Service takes a distance from certain specific points such as the safety of e-liquids declaring: " E-liquids seem less harmful than cigarette smoke which contains more than 4000 chemicals, including irritants, toxic products…. »But on this specific point we must admit that there are a multitude of different e-liquids on the market and that they are probably not all of good quality (it would have been interesting for Tabac Info Service to talk about the Afnor certification).
The other point that is improving for Tabac Info Service is its speech on gestures. In its communication, the structure declares to smokers “ When we stop smoking, we must wean ourselves of the substance (nicotine) but also of the gesture "While specifying" By taking an electronic cigarette know that you will maintain the gesture". It would still be good for Tabac Info Service to appreciate the fact that the smoker who makes a transition to vaping is part of risk reduction and therefore that gestures no longer really matter until they don't touch tobacco anymore. Moreover, as stated by Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos : " Nicotine does not cause heart problems or cancer“So that's not the problem. As we know, the problem lies in the combustion and not in the consumption of nicotine.
Even if the discourse of Tabac Info Service on vaping is on the rise, we realize that the structure still prefers to see smokers moving towards other methods of stopping smoking (Patch, Champix, Gommes ..) and that 'there is a certain reluctance here to accept that vaping can be a method of smoking cessation without time limit and not a simple transition.
