Wow, dat zijn indrukwekkende cijfers. Hoe hard men ook probeert het dampen en slechte naam geven, het goede nieuws blijft toch opstapelen en zal op den duur niet meer te stoppen zijn.

In dit nieuwe PPI rapport,  concludeert Rob Shapiro dat E-sigaretten hebben bijgedragen aan de daling van het aantal rokers in de VS en

kunnen helpen de levensduur van miljoenen mensen te verlengen.

“The rate at which Americans have successfully stopped smoking cigarettes has accelerated substantially since 2013,” said Robert Shapiro ... “and our statistical analysis of the CDC’s data...shows that increased use of [e-cigs] can account for 70 percent of that acceleration.”

 

 

“This groundbreaking research makes clear that vaping is not a gateway to cigarette smoking but an exit from it.
Innovations like “heat not burn” and vape are proving to be highly effective in helping U.S. smokers kick the harmful habit of burning tobacco,” 

 

“Concerns about nicotine addiction among the young are valid, but Congress should address them by quickly passing laws banning sales of all tobacco products to people under 21, not by making it harder for adult smokers to transition to less harmful products. “

 

Among adolescents, the association between declining smoking rates and rising e-cigarette use was even stronger than among adults. From 2013 to 2017, cigarette smoking rates among HS students fell from 12.7% to 7.6% while their rates of e-cig use increased from 4.5% to 11.7%.

 

The report also found no evidential basis for concerns that e-cigarettes could be a gateway to cigarette smoking among adolescents.

 

...by reducing cigarette smoking rates, e-cigs lower people’s annual healthcare costs, enhance productivity, and extend people’s lives. "...the net health-associated lifetime gains from starting to use e-cigs in 2017 instead of smoking cigarettes exceed $2.5 trillion."

En een kind kan dat begrijpen!

 

Het ontkennen van de zwaartekracht - want dat is wat idealisten doen - leidt tot grote ongelukken.
