“BAT has called on a European Commission scientific committee to enhance the quality of its ongoing review into e-cigarettes. The results of the review may pave the way for revisions to rules that affect millions of vapers across the EU. BAT’s response highlights major flaws with the methodology and conclusions of the review including that it: Fails to contextualize the risks of e-cigarettes relative to those associated with continued smoking. Makes inaccurate claims regarding e-cigarettes many of which have been widely debunked by the scientific and public health communities. Contains false assumptions that e-cigarette aerosol is the same as tobacco smoke. Neglects landmark independent studies showing that many smokers view e-cigarettes as an acceptable alternative to smoking. Relies on data from non-EU markets and studies on products pre-dating the current Tobacco Products Directive that are not relevant to the current EU context.”
