Good to see some balance in this article with some commonsense from @AlexWodak
However still some serious misinformation
FYI @janehansen2000

1. #vaping is not a Big Tobacco plot
-BT did not invent vaping
-Vapes are a direct competitor to cigarettes and are a huge disruptive threat to the industry
-BT is mostly focussed on #HTPs
-If BT switches from #cigs to #ecigs, that is good for public health. vaping is 95% safer

2. Popcorn lung has been long discredited
There has never been a single case of 'popcorn lung' from vaping or smoking, and diacetyl levels are hundreds of times higher in smoke than vapour
@CRUKLondon laid this to rest years ago

The @TGA delegate ruled last month:
"I am not satisfied that there is a net public health benefit from wider availability of nicotine in the form of HTPs. I do not consider that HTPs would make a significant contribution to population harm reduction"

Regulatory decisions should be made on the scientific evidence, not on ideological or political agendas
#HTPs are another option to help smokers quit and save lives. They should be available for Australian smokers.

1/ Well, this is embarrassing!

Numerous factual errors need correction

2/ "tobacco industry application to relax poison controls and greenlight the sale of novelty tobacco products being heavily promoted to young people in the US"
NO. This is for heated tobacco products NOT #vaping. #HTPs have been approved by the FDA.
Please learn the difference

3/ "unfounded claims about the benefits of #ecigs in smoking cessation"
NO. The evidence is very clear that vaping is more effective than other quitting aids and could significantly reduce Australia's smoking rate
