Don’t regulate it, just ban it

THE claim by the promoters of e-cigarettes and vaping devices (EVCs) that vaping can help traditional cigarette smokers quit tobacco smoking is baseless.

The Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) wants to reiterate what it has been stating from the beginning, that EVCs are not a “safer alternative” to smoking traditional tobacco-based products or for use in smoking cessation. They are all injurious to health. And contrary to popular belief, the US Food and Drugs Administration found that scientific evidence does not justify using EVCs as smoking cessation tools.
