*Among participants, 40.9% disagreed (“rather disagree” or “totally disagree”) that e-cigarettes are less harmful than conventional cigarettes. | |||
*We have observed that only 21% of physicians get information about e-cigarettes from scientific articles. Most participants learned about e-cigarettes from non-scientific sources such as news stories or storefronts. Information obtained from such sources are not scientifically verified and might be biased. This poses a threat that education and guidance about e-cigarettes delivered by physicians is not based on evidence. Similar results were observed among healthcare providers’ in the US where the most frequently reported source of knowledge about e-cigarettes were patients (62%) or news stories (39%). | |||
