Are vapes 95% safer than smoking? Probably, and scientists should be blunt about it
Vaping is often claimed to be 95% safer than smoking, but there are debates on the accuracy of this statistic. Public health messaging on vaping's safety is under scrutiny, with concerns about potential misinformation leading to increased youth vaping. However, research indicates that while vaping is relatively safer, it is not risk-free. The discussion highlights the importance of transparent communication in public health messaging. Contrary to assumptions, youth perceptions on vaping harm have shifted negatively. Additionally, promoting baby-led weaning and debunking myths about excessive water consumption are other topics of interest in recent articles. Moreover, a group of psychologists is focusing on correcting errors in scientific research.
