Why Tasmanian dentists need to brush up on vaping

Dr. Colin Mendelsohn points out inaccuracies in the ADA Tasmania's stance on vaping, highlighting vaping's effectiveness in smoking cessation compared to nicotine replacement therapy. He emphasizes that harmful substances in e-cigarettes are minimal and below safety limits. Mendelsohn disputes claims of vaping increasing health risks and youth smoking rates, advocating for an adult consumer model over the current prescription-only system to reduce the black market and provide safer access for adult smokers. His 40 years of experience in smoking cessation inform his recommendation for a regulated, accessible vaping system.
