A new study has shed light on how vaping and smoking differ in their impact on cells and DNA, adding to the growing scientific evidence that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking. The study, which was peer-reviewed and published in the journal Mutagenesis, utilised Toxys' ToxTracker suite of stem-cell-based in-vitro assays to compare e-liquid samples and their vapour to the smoke of combustible cigarettes. The study, which was conducted by scientists at Imperial Brands, marks the first time that the results of an analysis on e-liquids and their vapour using the ToxTracker system have been published.

The findings of the study draw into question the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners recommendation that electronic cigarettes be used as a second-line ...

A new longitudinal study examining the changes in vape juice flavour preferences has found that vapers across all demographics tend to migrate away from tobacco, menthol, and mint flavours over time, instead opting for sweeter e-juice flavours like our Butterscotch e-liquid. The Study The researchers behind the study analysed the results of two online e-cigarette surveys taken by 383 adult participants with an average age of 44 ± 12 years. Of those surveyed, 86% exclusively used e-cigarettes and 13% reported using both e-cigs and tobacco products. The baseline survey was conducted in 2012-2014 and the follow-up survey was conducted in 2017-2019. Participants were asked the name ...

With vape use rising and cigarette sales declining in New Zealand, End Smoking NZ (ESNZ), a charity founded by Dr Murray Laugesen in 2006 to support innovative approaches to tobacco control, is highlighting data from 2018 in which the Health Promotion Agency found that 23 per cent of New Zealanders who recently attempted to quit smoking had used an e-cigarette in the previous couple of weeks. ESNZ wrote in an article published on its website that the widespread availability of e-cigs "may help smokers quit sooner" while pushing for e-cigarettes to be carefully considered as the New Zealand Government continues pressing forward with ...

A new study led by Professor Richard Edwards from the University of Otago, Wellington, a component of the University of Otago Medical School, has found that New Zealand's smokers are increasingly aware of e-cigarettes and are using them more than they ever have before to quit smoking. E-Cigarettes Are Contributing To Lower Smoking Rates According to Professor Edwards, the study's findings suggest that "e-cigarettes are contributing to reducing smoking prevalence and to achieving the goal of Aotearoa becoming smokefree by 2025." The study's findings show that daily use of e-cigarettes was highest among those who had recently quit smoking (23 per cent). ...

A recently published study conducted by researchers at the University of Queensland shows an apparent slant in how nicotine vaping products (NVPs) are portrayed to Australian pharmacists, focusing on portraying their potential risks rather than their potential benefits. The study's authors wrote in their conclusion that portraying nicotine vaping products in this way "is likely to contribute to misperceptions about the relative harm of NVPs." The study's authors went on to call for staff at pharmacies to be provided with "unbiased and evidence-based guidance on how to handle customer enquiries regarding NVPs." The Study The researchers focused their analysis on ...
