This very detailed analysis goes through a widely-covered opinion piece which claimed vaping could be as bad as smoking and and permitting e-cigarettes would worsen health. The level of deception and misdirection required to publish this claim is incredible, as this piece demonstrates.
The asshole academics and 'public health experts' producing this kind of work should be held to account the same way tobacco executives were, if there is any legal route to do so. Like those CEOs, they are deliberately withholding essential information and going out of their way to misinform people, at a likely cost of millions of lives.
The exact reverse of Prof Glantz' claims is true: vaping is much safer than smoking and can improve health by helping people quit.
It's an egregious form of professional malpractice, made even worse by the fact that these people aren't working for a private company, but rather are mostly on the public payroll and meant to be pursuing the public interest!
