E-CIGARETTES 'GATEWAY' TO SMOKING FOR NON-SMOKERS
Using e-cigarettes triples the chance of a non-smoker taking up cigarettes and there is "insufficient" evidence that they help smokers quit, according to a new report submitted to the Government and reported in the ANU Portal, Medical Express and mainstream press (AFR) et al.
Research led by The Australian National University (ANU) reviewed the worldwide evidence on e-cigarettes and smoking behaviour, relevant to the Australian context.
The report has been widely reported in the press with perhaps more rigorous discussion given recent TGA Interim decision to allow E-Cigarettes prescription in 2021.
