Sale of Cigarettes Are Declining Due To Electronic Cigarette Competition
This is one article I am sure glad to put up on the website. It always brings feeling of joy when I hear that smoking of traditional cigarettes are on the decline due to vaping products. It appears that the new data suggest that this trend will continue as long as innovation in electronic cigarettes keeps happening worldwide.
ACSH’s Dr. Gil Ross had these observations: “The tobacco companies’ harm-reduction shift is a salutary one for America’s public health, since the inhalation of the few chemicals in electronic devices — e-cigs and vapor products — will undoubtedly lead to a marked reduction in “smoking”-related (actually nicotine-related, since e-products have no smoke) disease and death, if the innovative technology is allowed to flourish by our risk-averse regulators at the FDA. Most of the vaping public — perhaps two-thirds of them — now prefers the ‘open’ systems: tanks, mods, personal vaporizers with customizable flavors and nicotine levels. These are not readily quantified by sales surveys, which tend to focus on convenience stores, gas stations and drug stores, which sell mostly Big Tobacco’s ‘cigalikes.’ The open systems are primarily sold online or in shops devoted to those products: ‘vaporiums.’
“One thing must be highlighted: While the empirical evidence is stark — the boom in reduced-risk e-devices is helping many smokers switch from deadly cigarettes, whose sales are declining — not one voice is raised among our CDC, FDA, the big ‘public health’ nonprofits, the academic centers, singing the praises of these miraculous devices in helping reduce the tragic toll of smoking. Having attacked them at every opportunity, they will now lie low until the ‘evidence’ is in proving the link between vaping and quitting. By that time, they hope, those of us truly devoted to public health will have forgotten their perfidy and corruption. We will not.”
