WHO Report Says Ecigs Are Not Safer Than Tobacco Then Contradict Themselves

[the grumpy vaper]

Today the World Health Organisation (WHO) released a report entitled, “What everyone needs to know about e-cigarettes”. In the report the WHO – funded in part from large pharmaceutical companies – discuss what e-cigarettes are and their relative safety to tobacco cigarettes.

The Who report asks the question:

“Are e-cigarettes safer to use than cigarettes and other tobacco products?”

And answers this with:

“No, using e-cigarettes carries some health risks.These devices have become popular over the last 4–5 years. Little is known about the impact of e-cigarettes on health.”

In the same paragraph, they then go on to say:

“As they contain fewer toxicants at lower levels than conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes are likely to be less toxic. Nobody knows, however, how much less toxic they are.”

At last, I found the paragraph I was looking for;

"Nevertheless, the reduced exposure to toxicants of well regulated e-cigarettes, used by established adult smokers as a complete substitution for cigarettes, is likely to be less toxic for the smokers than conventional cigarettes or other combusted tobacco products. The amount of risk reduction, however, is unknown."

So, it's offical, vaping is better for you than smoking!

If the idiots can pick and choose what they take from these reports, then so can I.

Remember it's the big pharmaceutical companies who make products like Nicorette gum and patches and all those awful things no one uses any more.

They have a lot to lose.
