New Government Research Seems Designed to Further Damage Vaping
The UK government allocated £62 million for a decade-long study on youth vaping involving 100,000 young people. However, concerns arise over biases linked to the research institutions and agenda. Criticism targets UKRI's funding choices and questions the necessity of more research given existing evidence from bodies like PHE and OHID. Critics argue the study may disregard established findings on vaping risks. The government's new anti-vaping campaign and misleading claims about nicotine damage fuel skepticism. The focus on youth vaping also overlooks potential benefits for adult smokers. The study highlights biases, misinformation, and ideologically-driven narratives that could harm public health efforts.
11.90% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 7.2 million current smokers in United Kingdom 14.60% of men are current smokers but only 11.20% of women.
