Richard Hogan: Vaping is not a healthy alternative to smoking — full stop

Vapes are priming our children to become addicts. Parents must change how they view vaping

"A recent study by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, analysing the toxicological harms of flavours in vapes found that when heated, it caused the formation of many hazardous chemicals, including 127 that are classified as “acute toxic”, 153 as “health hazards”, and 224 as “irritants”."

Vaping is not a harmless experiment. It is not a healthy alternative to smoking cigarettes; we have all been duped by these insidious marketeers attempting to present vaping as a harmless habit.

In fact, when you listen to their spiel, they are at pains to tell us they are the good guys, trying to protect our children from those bad cigarette companies.
