*"The Nicotine Vaping in England report suggests that health risks of vaping are often overstated, resulting in inaccurate risk perceptions that could deter people who use the most harmful product (cigarettes) from switching to less harmful product (e-cigarettes). According to representative surveys of young people (11–18 years) and adults (≥18 years) in England in 2021, 55°3% of young people and 65·9% of adult smokers and vapers in England mistakenly think that vaping is as harmful or more harmful than smoking.2 Such inaccurate perceptions have probably been fuelled by misrepresentative news coverage of e-cigarette harms, such as that of the US outbreak of vaping-associated lung injury in 2019, which was caused by inhaling vitamin E acetate, an additive in cannabis vaping devices, rather than standard nicotine e-cigarettes.4 In an effort to uphold the precautionary principle, the health community may have inadvertently aided the promotion of misinformation.5"
