Dr Colin Mendelsohn is a passionate vaping and tobacco harm reduction advocate from Australia.
Like a lot of pro-vapers he is getting pretty arsed off with all the fake scaremongering lately in the media around vaping.
To counteract this he has produced a series of videos – Dr Col’s Vape Truths – to help kill off common misconceptions being flung around.
These videos are worth a watch anyway – but are particularly useful to share on social media or to help you deal with people who are anti-vaping and let Dr C do the arguing for you with some facts!
Episodes
1. Secret ingredients…
Here he busts the myths about what e-liquids actually contain and the safety profile of the components.
2. Cloudy with a chance of cancer…
This episode focuses on how the risk of cancer is reduced when moving from smoking tobacco to vaping.
3. Toxic traits…
Here Dr C discusses the comparison of tobacco smoke with vapour from vaping.
4. A respiratory story…
This video focuses on how vapour and smoking affect the lungs.
5. Puffery…
Dr C discusses the pressing issue of dodgy and black-market vape gear.
6. Vaping blows…
As far as anyone has been able to successfully prove there has never been a single death caused by vaping nicotine.
7. Huffing and puffing…
This topic is close to home for me as it is about how breathing conditions actually improve when swapping smoking for vaping. As an Asthmatic my regular check-ups now show my peak flow to be around average for a non-smoker my age after 3 years of vaping (I was a dual user for many years – vaping and smoking). I rarely use my inhaler unless I get a cold or flu! So I am proof!
8. Up in smoke…
Here the risks of smoking and vaping are compared.
