*"The research question posed is an important one, since the number of people who have never smoked and who report using e-cigarettes appears to have increased in recent years. However, we are concerned that the methods used in the Alzahrani study [1] make the reported findings highly suspect and the conclusion reached unlikely. This includes: 1) temporality concerns; 2) measurement, diagnosis, and biological plausibility concerns; 3) sample size concerns; 4) model design concerns; and 5) uncareful language."

*"The study by Osei et al. used the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, which contains no information about when participants started to smoke or vape, or when they were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. A recent analysis by my research group of data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health, which contains this essential temporal information, provides definitive evidence that the results from Osei et al. are deficient and unreliable."
