As the often-misattributed quip puts it, \u201cA lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.\u201d This especially holds true for potential public health threats, which are ripe for spreading misinformation and causing panic. Last June, the Journal of the American Heart Association published a study that found e-cigarettes are linked to a significantly heightened risk of a heart attack. One of the authors, Stanton Glantz, is a prominent critic of e-cigarettes who once said e-cigarette users \u201cwould be better off just smoking.\u201d However, it turns out that claim is not supported by scientific evidence. It would be wise to remember there are huge incentives for researchers to report scary stuff. It garners more grant money, exposure and influence. The drug prohibitionists have always relied on flimsy evidence and the public\u2019s willingness to make snap judgments in the face of a perceived public health menace.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegazette.com\/subject\/opinion\/staff-columnist\/stanton-glantz-vaping-heart-attack-study-retraction-iowa-legislature-20200227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Do Iowa lawmakers care about vaping facts?<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20BASING%20LEGISLATION%20ON%20MISLEADING%20PSEUDO%20STUDY%20CLAIMS\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The initial deception almost always gets more attention than the subsequent correction.
