Yes... I listened to it this morning on my way in to work. Actually very good.. it was debunking this..


E-cigarettes do not help smokers to quit tobacco, a major study has concluded.

Researchers found that people who use ‘vaping’ gadgets are in fact 28 per cent less likely to give up smoking traditional cigarettes.

The findings are a major blow to leading health officials in England, who have repeatedly insisted that e-cigarettes are a key tool to reduce smoking rates.

The study - a systematic review of all available data on the issue - is the largest to assess whether e-cigarettes assist smokers in quitting cigarettes.

Published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal, it concluded that e-cigarettes do not help smokers quit - and should not be recommended for the purpose until there is solid proof that they do.


Very factually based.. quoted several experts in the field who opposed publication.
