At best, the authors try to show the absolute risk of vaping is not zero and that some harm is plausible. In doing so, they are refuting a claim that neither PHE or RCP make and an argument not used by anyone sensible in tobacco harm reduction. However,<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> not a single word of their paper addresses the supposed foundation of their critique \u2013 that PHE\/RCP are wrong and the risks of vaping are likely to exceed five per cent of those of smoking. As well as a number of baseless assertions that are not even relevant to the \u201cat least 95 per cent lower\u201d relative risk claim (gateway effects, smoking cessation efficacy and second-hand aerosol exposure), there is just nothing in the paper about the relative magnitude of smoking and vaping risks. \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddfc \ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf9\ud835\ude06\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude00, \ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddee, \ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc \ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude03\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf2 \u2013 nothing that discusses relative risk and why PHE\/RCP are supposedly wrong.
