Contrary to some of the hysterical reporting in the Australian media, there is a significant body of peer-reviewed evidence published in respected journals by fully independent researchers on the benefits of vaping as a public health tool. It has helped millions of smokers to quit tobacco, and while vaping is not harm free there is significant evidence that it is much less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

Here’s what other countries say about vaping

 “The Ministry considers vaping products could disrupt inequities and contribute to Smokefree 2025.….. Evidence is growing that vaping can help people to quit smoking.”


“Vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking remains a good way to communicate the large difference in relative risk unambiguously so that more smokers are encouraged to make the switch from smoking to vaping.”


“Vaping is less harmful than smoking. Completely replacing cigarette smoking with vaping will reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals. There are short-term general health improvements if you completely switch from smoking cigarettes to vaping products.”
