Vaping advocates call for fair, reasonable regulation

GENEVA: Vapers recently called on governments to adopt a reasonable, risk-proportionate and realistic regulatory framework for electronic-cigarettes (e-cigarettes or vapes) to help reduce serious sickness and premature death among millions of cigarette smokers. The group said there was reason to take note about the study of Prof. Michael Russell, who, in 1976, wrote that “smokers smoke for the nicotine but die from the tar.” ‘’When we urge people to stop smoking, we explicitly mean to quit smoking tobacco.

The harm from smoking is caused primarily through the toxins produced by the burning or combustion of tobacco’’ Peter Dator, president of The Vaper, explained.
