Vaping is as safe as skydiving WITH a parachute ... it ’ s at least 95 percent safer than jumping without
“ But when I went skydiving , I used a parachute and wouldn ’ t have considered the alternative .” A spokesperson for the World Vapers ’ Alliance added : “ The logical way to say this would be : ‘ Vaping is as safe as skydiving WITH a parachute … it ’ s at least 95 percent safer than jumping without ’.” Supporters claim the campaign is set to curb vaping amongst young people , plastering the completely false message across 3,500 New Jersey schools . However , evidence suggests that the so-called ‘ youth vaping epidemic ’ has been largely exaggerated , with the majority of young vapers being previous tobacco users . To make matters worse , the campaign has been released on billboards , trains and buses across the state , which critics say will steer smokers away from making the switch to less harmful products . Popular YouTuber and vaping advocate GrimmGreen said : “ Looking at this poster blind , if I was a smoker , I ’ d probably stay a smoker . “ I ’ m most thankful that I discovered vaping early on in 2009 … before ‘ public health ’ tried to convince me not to switch .” The anti-vaping campaign has seen hundreds of responses online , with advocates the world over calling out the ‘ outright lie ’.
