*"The problem with these studies is disentangling the effects of a smoking career (something more complicated than adjusting for current-, former-, never-smoking status) and subsequent vaping behaviour. Also, the relationships are complicated by reverse causation (was the vaping a response to smoking-induced respiratory symptoms?), a hard-to-define counterfactual (has the vaping displaced smoking or displaced abstinence?), and the fact that respiratory damage arises from cumulative exposure and vaping exposures may be adding incremental risk (would the subject have any symptoms if they hadn't smoked first?)."

*“These findings arise from subgroup analysis involving multiple hypothesis tests and are therefore unreliable. Contrary to the authors’ claim, this study provides no evidence that vaping increases the risk of stroke accrued from smoking tobacco.” (Britton)
*“While the paper itself is careful in interpreting the finding, the press release is grossly misleading. The study provides no justification for the claim that vaping increases the risk of stroke.” (Hajek)
*"While this paper highlights the need to continue studying the potential health effects of e-cigarette use, the results should be interpreted with caution as the observed associations may be simply due to unmeasured confounding and reverse causality.” (Shahab)
