There has been a lot of discussion and controversy about e-cigarettes , and of course, the most reliable conclusions always come from the scientific community.
1. Bill Godshall
“While WHO does a great job of reducing infectious and communicable diseases, its policies on tobacco and education are dismal.”
2. Professor M Siegel
“Most anti-smoking groups calling for e-cigarettes to be removed from the market have financial conflicts with pharmaceutical companies that make smoking cessation medications.”
3. Doctor CV Phillips
“After all, part of the job description for tobacco control is not to have too much critical thinking.”
4. Carl Phillips and Brad Rodu
“Opposing THR is a completely dishonest plan.”
5. Professor P Hajek
“We are trying to help regulators and politicians make their policies on a rational basis… whereas right now, those policies are based on self-interest and unfounded fears.”
6. Cives Bates
Clives Bates
“I’ve always thought that anti-vaping advocates are not scientific or truly concerned about health. That’s why the Snus case is so blatant. They try to find hard evidence to support a Snus ban, but even after those arguments have been proven to be pointless, they still refuse to back down and demand a ban. That’s why you can’t trust Snus advocates to say that e-cigarettes are right despite the overwhelming evidence, because they’re not based on evidence.”
7. Professor J.F. Etter
Professor Jean Francois Etter: " E-cigarettes are a powerful wave, and a law cannot become a breakwater."
“E-cigarettes are a powerful wave, and one law cannot be a breakwater.”
8. Doctor Farsalinos
“Everyone should stand up for their lives and health. Banning e-cigarettes is extremely dangerous and irresponsible.”
9. Mitch Zeller
“If we can get all smokers to switch to e-cigarettes, that would be a huge public health benefit.”
10. Prof John Britton
“If all smokers in the UK stopped smoking and started using e-cigarettes, we could prevent 5 million deaths. This is a huge potential public health benefit.”
11. Doctor C Phillips
“From a medical perspective, switching to e-cigarettes is as good as quitting smoking, so you don't need to worry about the differences.”
12. Professor Robert West
“There is no need to compare anymore, because the risk of e-cigarettes compared to cigarettes is negligible.”
13. Doctor Farsalinos
Nicotine addiction has never been harmful to others. That is why NRT products are now recommended by the FDA and MHRA as a long-term alternative to smoking.
14. Professor B Rodu
“Nicotine is not the main cause of the diseases you can get from smoking. It is like caffeine, highly addictive but safe and can be consumed in coffee, tea and cola.”
15. Doctor Newhouse
“E-cigarettes are safe for non-smokers. In our study, we found that they can help lower blood pressure. And there are no side effects or addiction, and no one wants to switch to smoking. The risk of nicotine addiction is practically zero.”
16. Professor KiIIeen
“Research shows that nicotine replacement therapies such as gum, patches, etc. are completely non-addictive. Nicotine is not addictive. The cause of addiction is the Monoamine oxidase that is released with nicotine.”
17. Professor Hajec
“We had a huge opportunity. It would be a shame to let it go because we were too cautious. E-cigarettes are actually very safe.”
18. Doctor Farsalinos
“Nicotine does not cause heart disease or cancer.”
19. Professor Robert West
Professor Robert West: "E-cigarettes are as safe as drinking a cup of coffee"
“E-cigarettes are as safe as drinking a cup of coffee.”
20. Professor Polosa
“To put it simply, quitting smoking is the same as switching to e-cigarettes.”
