RFK Jr. spokesman resigns over fruit-flavored vape concerns

What do folks think? Some thoughts:

  1. From my understanding, vapes are generally less harmful than traditional cigarettes, though vape research remains a new-ish area.

  2. Nonetheless, vapes are nonetheless harmful. So we wouldn't want people who never smoked before, to then start vaping.

  3. Many friends who vape say they vape way more than they smoke (because it is so convenient to vape). So, can we confidently say vaping is less harmful than cigarettes?

  4. The specific fear (by the official who resigned) is that fruit-flavoured vapes who attract children. This seems a legitimate fear: traditional cigarette companies used similar tactics I believe.

So seems like the spokesman (Richard Danker) made the right principles decision.

I'm curious to see what research evidence says on this. Feel free to add in the comments/replies!
