SCHEER NECK!

SCHEER have produced a report that shows;

1 The TPD is working well to protect the health of consumers.

2 There is no evidence from human studies or epidemiological data that E- Cigs present any harm apart from mild passing irritation.

3 No real world evidence exists for a gateway theory

4 No real world evidence exists that secondhand exposure is a risk to bystanders

Yet SCHEER concludes;

1 The TPD needs strengthening

2 There is moderate to strong evidence for human adverse effects

3 The gateway is real and proven

4 Secondhand exposure is a risk.

I loves me some science!

This is ‘science’ based on quantity rather than quality. It defaults to assuming harm when no evidence is available and is designed with the assumption that ecigs are a net harm, ignores the data which does not support this and weights the scant evidence ( and I use that term loosely) of harm heavily. It also, in the absence of any data, defaults to opinion. No justification given for this.

Cheers
