“You should only vape if it helps you quit smoking. While vaping is less harmful than smoking, it isn't harmless and vaping shouldn't be your final destination.”

“Vaping is especially harmful to children and young people, whose lungs are still developing. More research is needed to understand the long-term risks of vaping.”

“Such a small study group, and the research not presenting a convincing argument that confounders such as being a smoker were adequately taken into consideration, mean that the conclusions haven't been tested sufficiently to substantiate the claim that long-term vaping leads to persistent changes in lung function, and further research is needed.”
