Long-Term Vaping is Not a Public Health Problem

[AegisPrime]

Long-Term Vaping is Not a Public Health Problem (link broken - see below)

This is one of the very first studies of vapers with 12 months follow-up. We found that very few ex-smokers relapsed to smoking, and that many smokers (i.e. dual users) either reduced or quit smoking after 12 months.

Our data (and other studies) suggest that e-cigs are not very addictive, much less addictive than tobacco cigs. The conventional definition of addiction has two components (compulsive use in spite of harm). Because e-cigs do not cause harm, it is more appropriate to talk about compulsive use rather than of addiction in the case of e-cigs. There are thousands of ex-smokers who use the nicotine gum compulsively, several months or years after quitting smoking, and this is not a public health problem either.

Even if there are long-term vapers, this is not a problem, as long as they quit smoking. The problem is combusted tobacco, not nicotine. At the dosage used by vapers or users of nicotine gums or patches, nicotine is not toxic. Long term vaping is not a public health problem; not any more than long term use of nicotine gums

That was a long one

The link in the original post doesn't work for me, so here's a link to the interview with Dr Etter.

EDIT: Guess it won't work when I attempt to post the link either

Very...detailed.

 

[Uma]

Right on!! Let's hope Forbes & Reason write a good summary on it! Let's get this out there.

 

[catlady60]

Highly detailed. They even asked about illegal stuff we can't discuss on ECF.

 

[salemgold]

Done...........

I'm sitting here wondering if I'm already a participant in this particular study or not. I filled out a questionnaire a little over a year ago, and then received a cotinine test at the end of October from Prof. Etter. Guess I'll fill this one out and then leave a note in the comments section to let them know they may want to check my current enrollment status.

Lol! Do you randomly send out DNA samples to anyone that requests them? Etter could be building a clone army of StormFinchs as we type

Sad army that would be. Nah, Etter was vetted early on so I'm not real worried about it. And if he really wants a clone army suffering from several different autoimmune diseases, including two different and opposite acting thyroid conditions, that's his problem.

Where are the anti-nicotine ECF members who can explain why they know more than this Professor?

Thanks for the post, Aegis.

 

[MD_Boater]

Done...

I know more than this professor - about rebuilding carburators Probably...

 

[TruckinMan]

Done......

 

[Jingles]

It was long, but I completed it yesterday!

 

[Bill Godshall]

Don't know why the link to this document breaks up when posting it here on ECF.

But Etter's survey is excellent.

Looks like "ecigarette viewed .com" is a banned site. The "......" is used for obscenities and links ECF doesn't like. Don't know why though - perhaps a mod could chime in....

I'm sure this is the same one that you already did...

Electronic cigarette survey (page 1)

The study began in October 2012 and ends in December 2014, we expect 1200 participants

I am positive that I did it quite some time ago.

Thanks DC2. You're probably correct, though it seems like there are more and different questions on the current version. I went ahead and filled it out and let them know that I may already be enrolled.

I've filled out surveys before, but doing it again won't hurt............
