"A major review on the health effects of e-cigarettes reflects what public
health advocates have feared – escalating use of e-cigarettes in school-aged
children, early warning signs of increased smoking rates in young Australians,
and direct health harms of vaping in all ages.

The review, which was released today, was commissioned by the federal health
department and conducted by researchers at the Australian National University.

Overall, it found the health risks from e-cigarettes significantly outweighed
any potential benefits.

The review should silence lobbyists, who have long used data selectively to
promote the sale of e-cigarettes. This is despite the fact previous reports,
none as comprehensive and rigorous as this latest review, have delivered
similar findings."
