Dan it-tnaqqis sostanzjali jissinifika l-ħtieġa għal approċċ bilanċjat fid-diskussjonijiet li għaddejjin dwar il-vaping. Filwaqt li jibqa' essenzjali li jiġi evitat il-vaping fost iż-żgħażagħ, din id-dejta tenfasizza l-ħtieġa li l-attenzjoni tinbidel minn allarmiżmu żejjed għal soluzzjonijiet prattiċi u bbażati fuq l-evidenza.

Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA), commented on the findings: “The data from the CDC demonstrates that the exaggerated panic about teen vaping needs to stop. We must continue our efforts to discourage youth from vaping, but it’s crucial to ensure that our strategies don’t deprive adult smokers of a potentially life-saving alternative.

“The call now is for policymakers to develop strategies rooted in research and facts. Instead of succumbing to a moral panic, it’s necessary to address the dual challenge: keeping vaping products out of the hands of the youth while ensuring that adults have access to safer nicotine alternatives.”
