For us vapers, the answer to the question " Is the e-cigarette the best solution to stop smoking? Seems obvious but it is not necessarily obvious to the general public. In the United Kingdom, the drafting of " Spectator Health »Thus embarked on the shooting of a small report where several scientists and personalities were able to give their opinions.
THE E-CIGARETTE: THE MOST POPULAR MEANS TO STOP SMOKING!
according to " Spectator Health“, The e-cigarette is now the most popular way to quit smoking, gums, patches or sprays being relegated to a second plan. Yet they would go against medical dogma, which is to promote abstinence. Indeed, a lot of people use them without intending to give up and this poses a certain dilemma: Are vapers addicted? Nicotine dependent, just like they were when they were still smokers?
The question arises, should doctors be reassured by the e-cigarette or should they continue to advocate total abstinence? In England. the latest figures show that about 18% of the population still smokes, this figure having decreased over the last 10 years (from 24% to 18%).
GOOD MESSAGES BUT A DOCUMENTARY SPONSORED BY PHILIP MORRIS
This documentary Is the abstinence the only way " which lasts 15 minutes is quite interesting and contains many positive messages for the vape. Only downside and size, he is sponsored by Philip Morris which taints the credibility of the proposed work. In this short film presented by Dr. Max Pemberton (publisher of Spectator Health) we find several speakers whose Professor Clare Geradaof the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Dr. Roger Henderson, who writes regularly for "Spectator Health," the Pr Dinesh Bhugra, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and President of the World Psychiatric Association and Moira Gilchrist, director of scientific engagement at Philip Morris.
If we put aside the aspect " financing by Big Tobacco“, This short film explains once again that it is not the nicotine that is dangerous but the combustion of tobacco recalling in passing that the objective is indeed risk reduction. If we can not say that the consumption of nicotine is safe, it is still much less worrying than that of tobacco. Philip Morris having sponsored the report, the director of scientific engagement at Philip Morris also took the opportunity to highlight the heated tobacco systems and the involvement of her company.
