Public outcry over the banning of vaping denies smokers the benefits that vaping brings. Most public health experts fail to consider the usefulness of vaping in comparison to traditional smoking. The result of this is; a rising number of people suffering the consequences of traditional smoking because of their addiction to nicotine. In countries where vaping is illegal, death caused by smoking is highest.
In Asia, the Philippines led the rest of the countries in advocating for use of vaping as an alternative to traditional smoking. In a conference held in India in 2017, Philippine experts attempted to convince the Indian health officials to consider allowing use of e-cigarettes but to no avail. The Union Health Ministry of India proceeded to ban the sale and possession of vaping devices. Although the damage vaping has on the lungs is minimal and will take at least twice as long to make similar effects like direct smoking.
The Facts
Accurate scientific reports reveal lesser harm from the use of vaping. Studies have revealed that using e-cigs help to sustain a healthier life while enjoying the use of nicotine. Admittedly, the idea of e-cigs to actually quit smoking has little evidence at this time, but many vapers report their success on various vaping forums.
Most Drug authorities in developed countries have decided to review their policies considering the role that e-cigarettes play in reducing cancer diagnoses. It is also not logical to ban vaping and permit the use of regular cigarettes. The decision to restrict use of e-cigarettes undermines public health by eliminating safe alternatives in the market.
In Britain, the Royal College reviewed and advised the British government to allow sale and possession of vaping. Public Health authorities in England found that the e-cig products eliminate up to 95% of risk associated with cigarettes. The products help avoid cancer-causing chemicals inhaled through smoke. Fearmongering, however has frustrated the efforts of people who need to use safe means of tobacco use.
Misconceptions
Tobacco-use opposing groups overly use scary messages to mislead and cloud the use of e-cigs. It is typically; fear of the unknown. Although it is understandable to fight against use of cigarettes by kids, it is also important to use proven facts in anti-cigarette messages. These messages influence governments to ban use of vaping techniques yet more harmful smoking continues to thrive. Regular smoking kills half of long-term users but is allowed in most countries where e-cigarettes are banned.
Overdosing drugs is understandably wrong and harmful. However, responsible use of vaping techniques is reasonable and less harmful. Banning vaping on the basis of the risk on health is not factual.
Verdict
It would be critical to educate users on the benefits of safe means of tobacco use. Most propagators of anti-tobacco campaigns seem not to know the differences between latest forms of consumption and traditional ones. The war against tobacco use should not be focused on eliminating vaping because it is part of the solution to the health hazards of nicotine addiction. Avoiding smoke helps to reduce the effects of smoking by an amazing 95%.
