Verbatim
“The clearest example is COPD. In Spain, there are epidemiological studies indicating an under-diagnosis rate of close to 70 per cent.”
“What we are seeing now that we didn't see 10 years ago are the respiratory symptoms associated with vaping and e-cigarettes. The type of respiratory disease, however, will not become apparent until 20-30 years after exposure.”
“The idea that inhaling this substance is harmless is simply not true.”
