Smoking is bad for your health, it is clear that everyone has understood and accepted this for a long time. But what about the "vape" ?
For most people, the vape is always bad for your health. However, Ann McNeil, a professor at Kings College London conducted a study that clearly warns that " discourage smokers from using e-cigarettes is irresponsible"
She reports We have an in-depth review of research dedicated to understanding smoker's behavior and helping to quit smoking. Hundreds of research articles on smoking, nicotine and e-cigarettes have been published, and there are many years of clinical experience in smoking cessation treatments. Estimating relative risk is only a matter of logic. The hazardous chemicals contained in tobacco smoke are either absent from the vapor produced by the e-cigarette or present at levels well below 5%, finally the important chemicals present in the e-cigarette are not not expected to present serious health risks. »
John Moxham is a professor of respiratory medicine at King College Hospital. He admitted to being concerned about this trend. "JI see the harm tobacco has done to my patients who are at risk of premature death and many of whom have difficulty breathing due to damage to their lungs. It would be a public health tragedy if smokers were discouraged from switching to e-cigarettes or encouraged to switch back to tobacco just because they did not understand that vaping is much less harmful than smoking. It could cost lives. »
