You ignore over 125 papers that detected associations of ecigs with disease. Philip Morris says after 5 years people should rely on epi not biomarkers. Like tob industry, you are just ignoring evidence you don't like. Not very respectable behavior. profglantz.com/2025/10/27/e...

The whole field of tobacco control is riddled with studies that did not fully control for past smoking. Lung cancer + COPD = 50% of smoking-relate deaths. So what if (just hypothetically) adult vaping has skyrocketed, adult smoking has plummeted... and lung cancer and COPD have continued to drop?

If you need to resort to personal attacks and trying to link me to the tobacco industry, you've clearly lost the scientific debate. I don't apologize for believing in causal study designs, and respect findings from these studies regardless of directionality.
