When health issues become polarised it's often hard to know where the truth lies, regardless of new evidence
Last week, one of my stories was on whether vaping is helpful or harmful in reducing smoking rates. It was based on research looking at whether vaping encourages teenagers to start smoking cigarettes.. In England, as vaping rates among teens have jumped up, tobacco smoking hasn’t followed the same trend.While teens who vape are more likely to end up as smokers, this is probably because those who try out vaping are the same people who would have ended up smoking, regardless.
The UK is an outlier on this issue. As vaping became more popular, some leading figures in Public Health England took the view that although it carries some health risks, vaping isn’t nearly as harmful as inhaling the cancer-causing chemicals in ordinary tobacco smoke. The US now has higher numbers of high-school students who regularly vape, at about 11 per cent, compared with around 5 per cent in the UK, although surveys are hard to compare as they don’t use the same wording.over some cases of serious lung damage from vaping, although this later turned out to be caused by a black-market cannabis vaping liquid that was bulked out with a harmful substance.
Opinions divide between the more covid-cautious, who argue for tighter restrictions against the virus, to those who want an end to precautions.
