+*Statements:
+*; Prof. Dr. Ute Mons, Head of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology of Aging Working Group, Clinic III for Internal Medicine, Cologne University Hospital : “Since there was no statistical control for possible disruptive factors, a causal interpretation, as it is heard between the lines by the authors, is not justified. It should also be taken into account that the study period ran from 2013 to 2017, but the sale of e-cigarettes to young people in the USA was not banned until 2016.For a long time, e-cigarettes were simply more readily available to young people than conventional cigarettes."
+*; Prof. Dr. Daniel Kotz, Professor of Addiction Research and Clinical Epidemiology, Institute for General Practice, University Hospital Düsseldorf : “Overall, there is no clear scientific evidence that e-cigarettes are an entry point into tobacco consumption for adolescents and young adults. It is more likely that a personal basic inclination towards nicotine products and the social environment influence the consumption of e-cigarettes or tobacco independently of one another (so-called common liability theory). International studies show that tobacco smoking is falling among adolescents, even in countries where the consumption of e-cigarettes has increased [2]. This contradicts the so-called gateway theory."
+*;Prof. Dr. Heino Stöver, Managing Director of the Institute for Addiction Research Frankfurt (ISFF), Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences : “The study is not suitable for making valid statements about e-cigarettes. The main weak point of the study is that it does not take into account the motives for smoking. According to the current state of research, there is no significant causal relationship between the use of e-cigarettes and subsequent smoking. The research situation points in the opposite direction: The majority of adolescents use e-cigarettes no more than experimenting or occasionally using them. In the future, a research design is required that not only examines correlation but also real causality. Unfortunately, this is still not the case. Not even in this study. Such shortcomings underestimate the great and positive role of the e-cigarette in smoking cessation.With 95 percent fewer pollutants than conventional cigarettes, they are well suited for smokers who want to get rid of their addiction and minimize their risk."
