It is likely to become harder for detractors of electronic cigarettes to come up with any claims which they can use to discredit vaping. Information keeps coming to light showing the numerous benefits of vaping, or disproving claims of harm against these devices. The latest research published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research established that the vapor exhaled as one is using an electronic cigarette dissipates or evaporates within seconds after it has been discharged from the mouth or nose. The air returned to what it was before the aerosol was exhaled. This also applied in closed environments without any ventilation. These findings contrast with a comparison which found that smoking combustible cigarettes leaves smoke particles to linger for nearly an hour. Vaping is therefore a better option from a public health perspective since these findings show that indoor air quality will hardly be affected by the presence of someone vaping. Isn’t it time to stop looking at vapers in the same way that smokers are viewed?

Research that has been recently published in Harm Reduction Journal shows that the majority of the people who have made the switch from smoking to vaping preferred non-tobacco flavors. First-time buyers of e-cigs who opted for non-tobacco flavors increased from 18% in 2011 to more than 34% in 2016. These findings raise questions about the motivation behind the recent moves by some states, such as San Francisco, to ban non-tobacco flavors under the doubtable belief that such flavors appeal to kids and get them hooked on nicotine. The research also raises questions about the seriousness of the desire to reduce combustible cigarette use. This is because clamping down on non-tobacco flavors may prevent those who would have switched to e-cigs from doing so and continuing to smoke tobacco cigarettes.
