"The study, based on semi-structured interviews with 50 vapers between the ages of 16 and 26 - including 28 current smokers, 19 former smokers and 3 never smokers—found the majority of young people think e-cigarettes are a substantially less harmful alternative to combustible tobacco and don't believe that vaping is increasing their likelihood of smoking."

n = 50 ?

"based on semi-structured interviews" ?

However hopeful (for lack of a better term) this sort of pseudo-research may be, I find even its publication rather depressing. 'Soft science' at its softest. Do we really need this? Does it make any difference? Will it?

I guess only time will tell.

Thanks for sharing, eh?
