Are e-cigarettes really harmful?
koreatimes.co.kr
Recently in The Korea Times, there was an article titled “Smoking e-cigarettes as harmful as conventional ones” which was very misleading on many fronts. I would like to clear the “air” on this topic as many people are still in a fog when it comes to this new disruptive technology.Associate Minister of Health Jenny Salesa said: “Vaping is a significantly less harmful alternative to smoking and it has been used as an effective tool to quit smoking. However, it is not completely risk free and that’s why we need to make it as safe as possible and protect young people from taking it up. Vaping is also cheaper and this is important because people on low incomes have some of the highest smoking rates.”
Dr Robert Beaglehole, chair of Action on Smoking and Health (NZ), said: “I still think we should be doing everything we can to encourage smokers to switch to vaping and anything that restricts that we need to seriously consider." #vaping #vapenz #caphra
