Tackle Rising Vaping Risk Misperceptions
University College London researchers Sarah Jackson, Katherine East, and Jamie Brown have penned an article for the British Medical Journal in conjunction with Hazel Cheeseman, the CEO of Action on Smoking and Health, responding to the study One in 20 adults in England now smoke cigarettes and vape, study finds. They argue that efforts to reduce smoking rates are being jeopardised by the increasing levels of people not appreciating that vapes are far safer than cigarette smoking.
ASH Worries About Misinformation
Failure of the current regulations means that vapes are being overused by teens but underused adults to quit smoking, says Action on Smoking and Health. New data from the anti-smoking charity claims to find that the number of adult vapers has stalled. It blames it on “soaring risk misperceptions” but fails to recognise its role in helping this by campaigning against flavours and demanding vapes are hidden away in supermarkets.
