“evidence for #ecigs helping people quit smoking is inconclusive”

#vaping is more effective than nicotine replacement therapy in randomised controlled trials and is increasing quit rates in countries such as the UK and US

#cig use in US secondary schools increased 78% in 12m”

▪️Most youth vaping is experimental, short term
▪️Regular use by never-smokers is rare
▪️Nearly all smoke b4 they vape
▪️Vaping is diverting kids from smoking

Youth smoking fell by 25% in 2019 ‼️

1/ Well, this is embarrassing!

Anti #vaping groups congratulate themselves aon the #nicotine import ban, THE DAY BEFORE it was reversed

2/ "tobacco industry application to relax poison controls and greenlight the sale of novelty tobacco products being heavily promoted to young people in the US"

NO. This is for heated tobacco products NOT #vaping. #HTPs have been approved by the FDA.
Please learn the difference
3/ "unfounded claims about the benefits of #ecigs in smoking cessation"

NO. The evidence is very clear that vaping is more effective than other quitting aids and could significantly reduce Australia's smoking rate

Marina y Damián (@dmoyanopaz) se encontraban estudiando los depósitos continentales de la Fm. Chorrillo en las barrancas de la Ea. La Anita, junto con investigadores del @LACEV_MACN y especialistas de Japón.
Queremos agradecer a la Senadora Ana Ianni (@AnaMariaIanni), al secretario de turismo de El Calafate Oscar Souto, a Fernando Novas y Federico Agnolin del @LACEV_MACN, y autoridades provinciales por las gestiones que les permitieron retornar finalmente a La Plata.
