No, vapes aren't 95% less harmful than cigarettes. Here's how this decade-old myth took off

The Harlem Shake is on the radio and e-cigarettes are becoming a thing.

Key Points: 
  • The Harlem Shake is on the radio and e-cigarettes are becoming a thing.
  • A group of researchers convene to discuss these and other products containing nicotine.
  • But one of those “guesstimates” has gone on to become the most cited piece of vaping misinformation globally: e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes.

How the guesstimate took off

    • Public Health England used the 95% figure in its 2015 review of e-cigarettes, but failed to mention the caveats of the guesstimate.
    • The 2015 editorial also raised concerns about conflicts of interest, noting that some researchers involved in developing the guesstimate had connections to Big Tobacco.
    • By 2020, the guesstimate had become a “factoid”: unreliable information repeated so often it becomes accepted as fact.

How it has been used in Australia

    • The industry and its allies have been so effective at publicising this unscientific guesstimate, it continues to be used to undermine Australia’s public health policy.
    • In submissions made to Australia’s 2020 Senate Inquiry into Tobacco Harm Reduction, industry bodies and allies leaned heavily on the factoid in their arguments for legalising e-cigarettes.

Why does it matter?

    • Misinformation researchers refer to this as the continued influence effect: once it takes hold, it’s notoriously difficult to dislodge.
    • As a digestible, attention-grabbing stat, it circulates in the media, and is repeated again and again.

What’s the solution?


    We must debunk the myth that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes often and with factual evidence. Here is that evidence:
    Public health policies should be informed by impartial evidence, not industry-backed guesses. It’s time to leave the factoid back in 2013 with The Harlem Shake.
