Vapers in the Philippines lauded the latest statement of the American Cancer Society (ACS) declaring the group’s cautious support for e-cigarettes as a tool to help individuals quit smoking tobacco. “These individuals should be encouraged to switch to the least harmful form of tobacco product possible,” said the ACS in a paper. ADVERTISEMENTAlthough it warned that the health effects of long-term e-cigarette use were still unknown, ACS said currently available evidence showed that using current generation e-cigarettes was less harmful than smoking tobacco. At least 98 percent of all tobacco-related deaths in the United States were caused by cigarette smoking, ACS said. Joey Dulay, president of the Philippine E-Cigarette Industry Association, hailed the ACS position.
