1/6 Today @Europarl_EN votes on a possible outdoor #vaping ban. A moment of truth: Will MEPs follow science and listen to consumers, or bow to anti-vaping propaganda? 
2/6 Facts: Vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking and the most effective cessation method. Cancer risk from vaping is only 0.4% of smoking. Exposure to toxicants promoting cancer, lung, and heart disease is substantially lower.
3/6 Unlike cigarettes, vapes don’t produce constant side-stream emissions. Exhaled vapour exposes bystanders only to nicotine - virtually harmless - not combustion toxicants. Outdoor e-cig aerosol risks are basically non-existent.
4/6 Research shows vaping improves vascular health in smokers who switch. Studies found significant improvements in vascular health, similar to NRT, just days after switching.
5/6 The impact on vascular and pulmonary functions from secondhand vaping is minimal, not justifying an outdoor ban. Bystander exposure to nicotine from vaping is negligible.
6/6 Conclusion: Secondhand vaping poses negligible risk while helping millions quit smoking. MEPs should base decisions on science, not fear. Banning vaping outdoors could harm public health by deterring smokers from switching.
