It's not obvious, that's why we're studying it. In fact some studies have shown that e-cigarettes may not lead to cessation.

E-cigarette aerosols vary greatly, as well as the temperatures that various devices heat them to.

Anecdotal evidence may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.

I've seen much more cherry picking from official studies than in my anecdotal evidence, but thanks.

[LarrySellers]

Which ones?

[nathias]

the ones about vaping, when tobacco money paid for the studies it was weird how they always found a lot of danger that people then had to be protected from ... but when you would look at the data you would see they were using it in a way that noone actually used it (like using bad coils and completely overheating them) etc. Really a pure scam but because it's done in the form of 'science' its supposed to be more credible than people's experiences ...

[LarrySellers]

Which studies in specific? Can you cite one?

The tobacco industry is making lots of money off of these and can sell them in flavors that were banned in cigarettes a long time ago (opening up the market to kids again).

No I can't it was some years ago, in the time when they didn't capture the market yet. You can easliy find them online, just go through related subreddits from around 2016, and watch for studies people are complaining about.

edit: I have just written my comments in good faith. I don't know what distorted view of yourself you have, to expect people will prove something to you.

[LarrySellers]

The onus is on the person making the claim (you) I'm afraid.

> in the time when they didn't capture the market yet

Big Tobacco entered the market around 2012-2013.
