We’re at it again, the European Union asked the SCHEER the “Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks” their opinion on Electronic Cigarette before legislating TPD3.
That study is absolutely a joke, but it will be taken as a base for legislation and update of the TPD3, herre it’s the link to the report:
It is one of the worst report we could hope for after so many years of study and not a single death that can be pointed out to vaping.
What is really bad is that their conclusions are one thing and the body is another story…
They used old studies from 2013, they used Glantz studies that have been retired, they talk about second hand exposure to vaping, but they cancelled Burstyn’s study from the report and stupidly left it in the list of citations… they compare the US situation and projected it in the EU… made reference to WHO opinons without any scientific support, it’s really all sorts of things put together.
It all sounds like a very close deadline and they had to give the EU “**something” ** preferably against vaping and relegated the cleanup to a public consultation, which if this doesn’t get answered their report will count as good.
It’s up to us now to clean up the shit… we HAVE TO answer to the public consultation ending on the 26th.
