"Dr. Stanton Glantz, a regular critic of vaping, led the researcher effort and argues the study adds to evidence that youth vaping has a “gateway effect.” Of the 3,757 freshmen who participated, students who entered the study as vapers were no more likely to start smoking than people who do not use the devices, reports Reason.

Just six students from the body of thousands that participated switched from vaping to smoking cigarettes, while 20 students who began the study as smokers transitioned to vaping."


"Siegel also points out that 45 of the study’s participants began as users of both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, but quit smoking by the time the study concluded. While it is fair to conclude vaping may make someone more likely to try a cigarette, there is little to back up claims it is serving as a gateway to smoking.

Out of a sample of 3,757 college students, the investigators were only able to find six young people who transitioned from being a vaper to becoming a smoker,” writes Siegel. “So while e-cigarettes were associated with positive health outcomes for 65 students, they were associated with negative outcomes for just six students.”



So the study shows a net win (65 students QUIT SMOKING and 6 started) and Glantz transforms it into "using e-cigarettes at a younger age people three times more likely to become a smoker"

Stan Glantz caught lying to make a pre determined conclusion about a study???
