Positivish article in the Independent

[Lord Grim]

A reasonably positive article in yesterday's Independent. As usual, some of the facts aren't facts and some of the assumptions are plain wrong, but it seems to be an unbiased review of the reporter's experience vaping. Overall, I don't think this is going to win or lose us any support, but at least it isn't another hatchet job.

Electronic cigarettes: Can vaping help you stop smoking? - Features - Health & Families - The Independent

Wrong in a fair few places still... more than 1 third of all vapers are ex smokers. .. very few have never smoked though a fair few still do smoke at least occasionally. . But if you are 60% more likely to stop smoking with e cigarettes then surely must be more than 33% of vapers who stop smoking. ... also the user assumed they were taking in more nicotine because they used more regularly. .. but that is almost certainly not the case... as many of us can work out approximately what nicotine we are absorbing. .. and almost everyone who did so on a thread on here a while back was actually using less nicotine in spite of most of us believing it was more till using the calculator. ..
