Zero-risk-distortions are more harmful than vaping. In fact, it's the kind of rhetoric anti-vaxxers employ.

When used for the intended purpose (notwithstanding the shallow conspiracy theory), NVPs replace lethal combustibles. And do they outperform vintage quitting options.

To say the risk remnants and trace amounts of carcinogens outweigh the health improvement for ending a smoking career is nothing short of a hippocratic oath violation.

The predictable illicit market in Australia is more indicative of intent, btw. The deflection desperation more than palpable.

So it’s helping all those 14 year old never smokers to quit smoking?

Nope, the black market model does not help them. Neither the does the translucent fear arousal propaganda stoking reactance. (Portraying e-cigs as therapeutic remedy would diminish the gadget appeal. But observably the outward concern is not enough of a priority.)
