I fear it was.

In the interests of balance I wonder if we'll see ITV feature a ' How safe is your cigarette ' report . . . . if you could call the 30minutes of broadcasting dross that.

Negative bias or poor research in general. with largely misinformation or poor context.

A few rare health cases dramatised. No mention that the issues/deaths in USA have been THC/Vitamin E related not "normal" vaping.

A few words from Glantz. 
Also a 17 year old undercover shopper manages to buy eliquid 

Brief pro-vaping PHE defense of 95% safer than smoking and disagreement with WHO's stance. 


If you get a chance watch... but be prepared to

Already had people warning me not to vape this morning whilst smoking their cigs 😒😏🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Not really a surprise most of the media here is tied up to or owned by US companies, but still a load of BS.

[striker42]

Still haven't watched the programme. Don't think I'll bother after the opinion on here. IBVTA may have summarised it better www.ibvta.org.uk/media-centre/ibvta-statement-on-itvs-tonight-report/?fbclid=IwAR3LrJhk9iKbCCcQ9emhg153YWu8XxhmPpv6vTT6DojC9uwlVppeinlinag

Absolutely brilliant statement from IBVTA, thank you for sharing it Graham . . . . I shall be saving the link and will have no hesitation posting it if I see any negative comments relating to vaping as a consequence of this immensely flawed broadcast on my internet travels.
