Christopher Snowdon, IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics, has commented for The Sun on the misinformation being promoted around vaping.

“There is plenty of evidence of that vaping is largely harmless to people and it is vastly safer than smoking.”

“Unfortunately, smokers are being scared off vaping by the torrent of junk science coming from America where two-thirds of the population now believe that e-cigarettes are as bad as – or worse than – smoking.”

“Such ignorance is a devastating indictment of public health leadership.”

Christopher, along with Victoria Hewson, IEA Head of Regulatory Affairs, have published new research on the topic, which can be read here.
