There is no stakeholder or observer in the teen vaping debate who thinks teens should be allowed to use e-cigarettes including vaping manufacturers, government entities and most importantly, parent…

My dad has smoked for decades, so I gave him a Juul e-cigarette to see whether this would help him finally give up cigarettes.

The Food and Drug Administration has given Juul an ultimatum: prove they can keep their products away from minors within 60 days, or pull its products from store shelves and face criminal charges.

Introduction US tobacco control policies to reduce cigarette use have been effective, but their impact has been relatively slow. This study considers a strategy of switching cigarette smokers to e-cigarette use (‘vaping’) in the USA to accelerate tobacco control progress. Methods A Status Quo Scenario, developed to project smoking rates and health outcomes in the absence of vaping, is compared with Substitution models, whereby cigarette use is largely replaced by vaping over a 10-year period. We test an Optimistic and a Pessimistic Scenario, differing in terms of the relative harms of e-ci...

Science and Technology Committee publishe e-cigarettes report

Fewer U.S. middle and high school students are using tobacco products – but too many still do, according to a new survey published by the CDC and the FDA Center for Tobacco Products.

Despite our best efforts, every year 480,000 Americans continue to die from smoking. And, for the majority of our citizens, including healthcare professionals and policymakers, the solution to this problem is singular: Tell people to quit smoking.

Teens have taken a technology that was supposed to help grownups stop smoking and invented a new kind of bad habit, molded in their own image.

The public, regulators and legislators are sometimes confused by the mixed messages from different tobacco control tribes.

What should we do about JUUL? Three things, says Iowa attorney general Tom Miller.

Philip Morris was on track for its worst percentage decline in a decade, dragging down other tobacco stocks as cigarette volumes dropped more than expected and the IQOS product experienced slower growth.

Vaping products should be regulated by the FDA, but a rush to regulation will harm smokers

In the last week alone, Time, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NBC News, and dozens of local papers and news broadcasters have run hit pieces on America’s most popular electronic cigarette, JUUL. This moral panic isn’t organic. It is a coordinated attack orchestrated by nanny-state activists funded by the likes of Mike Bloomberg. These crusaders are doing a great disservice to consumer freedom without regard for the truth or its impact on public health. We deserve better.

Use of a JUUL e-cigarette (often called "JUULing") has been falsely rumored to have caused cancer in three students.

E-cigarettes are the most popular method of quitting smoking in England and most are purchased in specialist vape shops. This qualitative study explores how the vape shop environment is experienced by quitters to support smoking abstinence. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted to elicit experiences of e-cigarette use, including experiences of vape shops, in 40 people who had used e-cigarettes in a quit attempt. Observations of six shops in a range of locations were also undertaken. Interview and observation data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis and triangulat...

The government agency was the first respected public health organization to urge cigarette smokers to switch to vaping -- and to suggest that doctors recommend e-cigs to smoking patients. The new report assesses the evidence since the 2015 publication.

AS thousands of smokers across the country grapple with the decision to quit smoking — or have already seen their decision to quit in 2018 fall by the wayside — an Australian government ban on nicotine e-cigarettes remains in place.

Here we go again. Another federally funded study from the University of California, San Francisco, claims that “Nonsmoking adolesc...

Although not harmless, the evidence is unequivocal that vaping is much safer than smoking. But misinformation and scaremongering could still be putting people off switching
