Health committee  I agree with the ban on advertising. The popularity of this gadget never came from the health professionals of the medical society. It has come from the population. It doesn't need to be advertised. They'll go to it. The only thing is not to create barriers for the highly addicte

Health committee  Polosa in Italy has published a paper about this, and up to now vaping doesn't seem to help people lose weight. This is about the only study I'm aware of.

Health committee  I'll add that in Europe the maximum concentration of nicotine in the e-liquid is 20 milligrams per millilitre, and this has been adopted by most of the countries that have adopted the tobacco coalition. It's a reasonable target.

Health committee  I don't think you should be very concerned about this. Your body adapts very rapidly to nicotine. Of course, after you smoke a cigarette, you might have a very temporary acceleration of your heart rate, but it comes back to its usual rate. It doesn't have any long-term effects.

Health committee  I think you have to look at the way the questions were asked. “Have you ever tried electronic cigarettes in the last week?”; “Have you ever tried electronic cigarettes over the last month?”

Health committee  Yes, but with some limitations.

Health committee  It has to be a long-term study—

Health committee  Well, you don't become addicted after 10 or 15 cigarettes—

Health committee  I think, again, it has to be.... I wish you would go to the last report of Public Health England, issued last week. They review all the studies: the American studies that you're talking about, the Canadian studies—

Health committee  Yes. They discuss all this, and it's very difficult to analyze this data because of the way the questions were asked. You have to be very careful about saying that it's—

Health committee  Yes, but all the data all over the world.

Health committee  Have you known of a teenager who doesn't want to try something that is a bit hard and a bit dangerous? Whether it's alcohol, driving, sex, or anything, it's part of the teenager mentality.

Health committee  For example, in Great Britain, three million people stopped smoking with the electronic cigarette. Farsalinos in Europe with a Euromonitor study said that they estimate that 27 million people stopped smoking with the electronic cigarette. As I said before, if there were some il

Health committee  It should be said that nicotine could become addictive; this is something to be careful about. This is about the only concern I would have about the electronic cigarette. Again, I wish people would pay more attention to the studies coming from England and Europe saying that amo

Health committee  I don't see it in our clientele. Of course, we're dealing with an adult clientele. An excellent review was issued last week in the most recent document from Public Health England about the gateway effect that people were talking about. It's very difficult to make a good, sound,
