Expert Reaction to the ASH Teen Factsheet
Action on Smoking and Health shared alarming data on teen vaping in Great Britain, yet experts remain silent. Last year, concerns about misinformation were widespread, but this year, not a single tobacco harm reduction expert has weighed in. ASH aims to debunk myths and promote the benefits of vaping for smoking cessation. Despite acknowledging the lower risks of vaping compared to smoking, their support for restrictive measures could be fueling misconceptions. A recent study revealed a significant misperception that vaping is as harmful as smoking, potentially deterring smokers from switching. Experts stress the importance of accurate information and urge against policies that may wrongly equate vaping with smoking.
