AMA president Michael Gannon has highlighted the cigarette "gateway" risks associated with nicotine vaping, or e-cigarettes, in a Sky News interview.
He was reacting to Conservatives leader Cory Bernardi's recent stunt of driving around Canberra in "Vape Force One", a van promoting the legalisation of vaping (pictured).
"Vaping is a much safer way for people to satisfy their nicotine addiction and cravings," he was quoted as saying in The West Australian.
Research reported in PD has supported both sides of the argument over many months (PD 16 Jan 18, 05 Oct 17, 29 Sep 17, 11 Aug 17, 13 Dec 16 and more).
