Vapers report better general health than smokers, new study finds
A study in Scotland comparing self-rated health between exclusive vapers and smokers found that vapers reported significantly better health. Even after adjusting for various factors, vapers were 1.26 times more likely to report higher health. Heavy smokers had the lowest self-rated health, while prior smoking did not affect vapers' health reports. The study, based on the Scottish Health Survey data, highlights the importance of considering subjective perceptions along with objective health measures. The findings support e-cigarette use as linked to better health outcomes compared to smoking.
