The issue on vaping or the act off using e-cigarettes or similar devices that produce vapors continues to be a push-and-pull among scientists. This week, English academics have come out to claim that the controversial e-cigarette study and the review made by the Public Health England may have been backed by tobacco and e-cigarette manufacturers.
According to The Guardian, English professors Martin McKee and Simon Capewell have criticized the study for the results it has presented may have been influenced by its sponsors.
Both McKee and Capewieill argue that the "directors of public health and the wider community desperately need advice on EC [electronic cigarettes] that is evidence-based and free from any suspicion of influence by vested interests."
They also see the aftermath that the idea that the study suggested — vaping is 95% less harmful than cigarettes — will bring to the public, noting that e-cigarette smoking inside cars may not be banned inside cars next month.
Amid the debate over e-cigarette and vaping's real effects, many have issued bans on the use of the said to be a cigarette alternative.
The Marysville City Council agreed on Sept. 17 to ban vaping in city parks, as per an ordinance they have voted for unanimously, Komonews.com reported. The ordinance reportedly fines violators $150.
Meanwhile, just two days ago, the National Park Service also issued a ban on e-cigarettes and vaping from all national parks on top of the traditional smoking bans in these areas.
Director Jonathan Jarvis has said in a statement that the ban hopes to protect the health and safety of employees and visitors of the parks.
However, Jarvis' statement received an opposing statement from the American Vaping Association which claimed that the bans "will constitute a great misuse of government resources," Independent Journal has learned.
The association also pointed out that the outdoor bans would be justified if the serviced focused on the fire risk of the e-cigarettes. However, the association claimed that it is shameful to note that cellphone batteries have more fire risk than vaping products.
