Doctor’s orders: Offer vapes to smokers as quitting tool
A JAMA publication should raise the standard of the nicotine debate, not narrow it into alarm. Research on smoking, vaping or smoke-free products needs to be read through the lens of comparison: what happens to people who continue smoking, switch completely, or use products alongside cigarettes. The public health value lies in that distinction. Evidence should clarify the movement away from combustion, not be used to make every nicotine product appear equally harmful.
