*"The study by Zhang 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 any disease. Their results are deficient and unreliable, because a recent analysis by my research group provides definitive evidence that the vast majority of diseases reported by vapers in cross-sectional surveys had been diagnosed before survey participants initiated the behavior."
