Flood of anti-science is trapping smokers with deadly cigarettes
International experts warn of an anti-science campaign misrepresenting safer nicotine products, leading smokers to believe vaping is as harmful as smoking. The false perceptions hinder smokers from switching to less harmful alternatives, increasing health risks. Surveys show a growing number of smokers hold misconceptions about vaping, with many believing it is as harmful as smoking. Few smokers are aware that vaping is less harmful. Dr. Delon Human stresses the importance of accurate information and access to safer alternatives, citing Sweden's success in reducing smoking rates through such measures. Mistaken beliefs about vaping's dangers fuel a deadly cycle of cigarette addiction.
