ANTI-vaping RESEARCH BIAS: Study disingenuously IMPLIES vaping leads to smoking flavored cigars, HOWEVER it really only confirms previous findings that youth who are open to trying vaping may also try other tobacco products. NO CAUSATION is shown.

COMMENTARY:
"If the war on drugs has taught us anything, it is that product bans do not prevent use....Indeed, bans merely disproportionally impact minority communities, make drug supplies more dangerous, and increase interaction with law enforcement."

TOBACCO CONTROL: Marc Gunther on Stanton Glantz's crusade against vaping, which has critics & former allies questioning his research.
“Glantz and his powerful allies in the anti-tobacco movement — nonprofit advocacy organizations the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the Truth Initiative, as well as the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society — have mounted a campaign against e-cigarettes funded with $160 million from Bloomberg Philanthropies. Instead of inviting smokers to switch to vaping, Glantz and the nonprofits have promoted more traditional quitting strategies, including those involving the use of FDA-approved medications, while simultaneously working to ban e-cigarettes, tax them, prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, outlaw their use in smoke-free zones, and generally do whatever they can to stop both adults and children from vaping."

VAPING RESEARCH: Study finds vapor product use among US high school students between 2012-2019 did NOT cause an increase in the "population burden of nicotine dependence." Put simply--vaping is not "leading teens into a lifetime of nicotine addiction."
