A comment on Clearing up some myths around e-cigarettes. Parent comment
If you have a large population then any small risk means harm will be caused to a small number of people.
If people who start vaping are ex smokers we can balance that tiny risk against the huge benefits of smoking cessation.
We can't do that same balancing for young non smokers who start vaping, so from a public health point of view we'd want to avoid it.
