There's no evidence e-cigarettes are as harmful as smoking | Science | The Guardian
Author:
Professor Linda Bauld takes apart and deftly debunks a recent piece of trash propaganda published in The Guardian by a guy called Nash Riggins, some blogger who also writes for the Huff Post (enough said... ) and who has no flipping idea about e-cigs. (Published in The Guardian, jeez! That trash propaganda would have fit well in the Daily Fail... uhm.. Daily Mail.. an absolute trash publication that loves fearmongering and / or nonsensical screaming headlines and crap like that)

Excellent article, very reputable author. Can be quite useful. Especially if somebody happens to mention this Riggins guy's trash.
.......
Oh, if anybody intends to look at the original trash propaganda piece by that Riggins guy... my advice: just glance over the Glantzy propaganda piece and go on and enjoy the comments - Best to read the comments from the back, page 14. Many good names, many good links. Clive Bates, D.ick Puddlecote, Bill Godshall (if I remember correctly), and great links in the comments by Lollylube.
By the way: I got a GREAT education on vaping (links, studies, everything) by reading the comments by the British vapers below trash articles. British vaping commenters rock ( ) and the links they post are well worth reading.
.........
And please no penalty for "going around the word filter" for Mr. Puddlecote's name. That is his name

In his recent ‘Comment is free’ piece Nash Riggins claims that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, and expresses robust support for NHS Boards in Scotland who intend to ban the use of electronic cigarettes when their grounds go tobacco free in April.
The reader might be left with impression that the use of nicotine is simply not compatible with public health aims, and that e-cigarettes should be subject to the same restrictions as tobacco products. However, to reach such a conclusion Riggins overlooks an extraordinary body of evidence pointing to the contrary. Disregarding this evidence could mean missing out on the potential of e-cigarettes to save lives. Let’s look at his assertions.
