Majority of smokers believe e-cigarettes are as dangerous as cigarettes - ”A lie that costs lives”

Smokers increasingly think vaping is as harmful as smoking, despite evidence showing it's far less risky. Misinformation perpetuates this belief, impacting public health. Misconceptions arise from the misrepresentation of vaping in the media, promoting fear over facts. Negative perceptions are reinforced by international campaigns funded by Michael Bloomberg. As smokers remain misinformed, the missed opportunity for harm reduction is highlighted, with vaping offering a significantly safer alternative to tobacco. Public trust in science communication is crucial in dispelling myths and promoting informed choices.
