A new study conducted by the American Cancer Society indicates that perceptions by adults of "electronic or e-cigarettes as being more harmful than cigarettes...more than doubled between 2019-2020." This perception coincides with results from the EVALI study, which focused on lung injury associated with e-cigarettes or vaping. According to principal scientist Dr. Priti Bandi, all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes are harmful to one's health, and "there is a need for behavioral interventions to encourage individuals to be informed consumers of available scientific findings and appreciate that while no tobacco product is safe, there are inherent differences between relative and absolute harms between tobacco products that can influence behavior."
