CDC quietly released a partial look at the much anticipated NYTS 2014 results. Among the most interesting finding (which, of course, they fail to note) is the fact that vaping prevented 2.7M kids predisposed to smoking from trying real cigarettes. As far as public health interventions go, this is basically THE most important development since vaccines. As an added bonus, it cost taxpayers nothing.
However, rather than welcoming this public health miracle, CDC spins it around, treating harmless, tobacco- and smoke-free vaping as if it were a "tobacco product"; regurgitates the usual false and fear mongering claims about nicotine; and, naturally, pretends all actual tobacco products are as harmful as smoking.
