*This article incorrectly states, “In the wake of the e-cigarette or vaping use-related lung injury (EVALI) outbreak in September 2019, electronic cigarette manufacturer JUUL voluntarily removed flavored pods aside from tobacco and menthol from the U.S. market” That sentence is false and creates a factually inaccurate and damaging link in a reader’s mind between JUUL products and the 2019 lung injuries (EVALI) when none exists. In fact, Juul Labs reduced its flavor portfolio to tobacco and menthol to combat underage use and the ingredients of JUUL products do not include vitamin E compounds or THC that were primarily linked to EVALI.

*Contrary to the conclusions of the Banks review, the evidence suggests that vaping nicotine is an effective smoking cessation aid; that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking tobacco; that vaping is diverting young people away from smoking; and that vaping by smokers is likely to have a major net public health benefit if widely available to adult Australian smokers.

===2022: Comments RE: [https://pubpeer.com/publications/727EA7B64FB27270F20717729D7629 Effects of mango and mint pod-based e-cigarette aerosol inhalation on inflammatory states of the brain, lung, heart, and colon in mice]===
*Although this new research from Moshensky et al., does add to the scientific literature about previously marketed JUUL products, we believe the conclusions presented in the manuscript are not adequately supported by the study data. In addition, the lack of quantitative data on actual dosing limits the ability to establish relevance to potential human exposures from product use. Furthermore, the lack of a comparison against the effects of tobacco smoke limits the ability to evaluate these study findings in the context of the tobacco product risk continuum, and risk relative to use of combusted cigarettes.
