*The exact role and effects of treatment may not be the only aspect of medication use that smokers are misinformed about: a number of studies have reported that a large proportions of smokers have concerns about the safety and efficacy of NRT products, believing either that these products do not promote cessation, that they are dangerous/ harmful to use, or that the mechanism of action of nicotine replacement products is to make a user sick if they lapse during treatment. Important for the purposes of this discussion, smokers who hold these misperceptions are less likely to have used NRT in the past, and less likely to say that they intend to use it as part of future quit attempts, suggesting that beliefs about NRTs’ safety and efficacy may impact on treatment use.

*"Moreover, findings illustrate that public health messages regarding the risks of e-cigarette use may have unintended consequences of increasing cigarette use to replace e-cigarette use for some SGM young adults, a practice that is incongruent with scientific evidence demonstrating that cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products are riskier than e-cigarettes and other forms of NT use."

*After the US outbreak of vaping-associated lung injury, views on e-cigarettes among smokers in England deteriorated. The proportion perceiving e-cigarette use as less harmful than cigarette smoking decreased, and the proportion perceiving e-cigarette use as more harmful increased by over one-third.

*The  increase  in  e-cigarette  risk  perceptions  might  discourage  adult  smokers  from using e-cigarettes  as  a way  to  quit  smoking,  despite  evidence  from a  clinical trial  that  ecigarettes  are  a more  effective  cessation  method  than  FDA-approved products  such  as  the nicotine  patch.
*Our econometric results suggest that the immediate impact of the first information shock was to increase the fraction of respondents who perceived e-cigarettes as more harmful than smoking by about 16 percentage points.  More  targeted advice  about  the  risks  of  THC  e-cigarettes (vs nicotine products)  might have  more  effectively  reduced  the  use  of  those  products,  potentially  preventing  EVALI  cases.

*The findings suggest that many smokers are misinformed about the health risks of NRT and that these misperceptions impede not only the adoption of NRT but also compliance during treatment. Misperception of NRT safety is one barrier to effective use of NRT and probably reduces success in quitting.

===2004: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15799593/ Stop-smoking medications: who uses them, who misuses them, and who is misinformed about them?]===
*The data reveal that most smokers are misinformed about the health risks of nicotine and the safety/efficacy of nicotine medications. Approximately half incorrectly reported that the reduction in nicotine in cigarettes has made cigarettes less dangerous to health and only one-third correctly reported that nicotine patches were less likely to cause a heart attack than smoking cigarettes. Smokers who were more knowledgeable about the health risks of nicotine and the safety and efficacy of nicotine medications were more likely to report past use of nicotine medications. Misperceptions about the health risks of nicotine and the safety/efficacy of nicotine medications may discourage some smokers from considering the use of these medications to help them stop smoking.

*The paper calibrates and tests this equipment, showing the potential problems of exposing these biological systems when the aerosol is generated by a high powered device with sub-ohm coils and an inapprotriately low airflow. This grossly deviates from consumer usage of these divices and is also  the perfect storm for generating aerosols under overheating conditions and high toxin’s load.  
*Many cell/rodent studies report deleterious biological effects from the exposure to e-cigarette aerosol, thus contributing to the vaping harm narrative, but often the aerosols are unrealistic, overheated and toxic. A second paper is forecoming in which we will revise 19 studies with this problem, there are bound to be much more.

**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.
