Warning - misinformation follows.

You cannot make this up. And they forgot to mention that e-cigarettes also cause coronavirus, HIV, typhoid and gangrene.

The Cambodia Movement for Health says smoking e-cigarettes may cause seizures or disorientation.

The Cambodia Movement for Health has asked relevant ministries to ban advertisements selling e-cigarettes on social media as it is detrimental to people’s health. The use of e-cigarettes has a serious impact on the well-being of both smokers and non-smokers as inhaling second-hand smoke can cause damage to the lungs, it said.

According to a press release from the Cambodia Movement for Health on Wednesday, e-cigarettes have been falsely described by the tobacco industry as a device to help smokers quit, which they claim are safer and cleaner than regular cigarettes. In order to attract the younger generation and to make it more ‘cool’ to be a smoker, the tobacco industry now produces various flavours targeted to them.

The organisation continued that, “To date, there is no evidence that shows or confirms e-cigarettes as an aid to help smokers quit. In contrast, the use of e-cigarettes has the same health effects as regular cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes can drive young people to drop out of school, experiment with drugs and commit other misconducts in society.”

CMH added that despite the continuous actions taken by the authorities, advertisements that promote e-cigarettes on social media, including Facebook and YouTube, are still being allowed which is a major concern as it can lead to a social problem and crisis in the near future like being drawn to drugs.

According to the report obtained by the organisation from other sources, misinformation about e-cigarettes as means to help smokers quit the habit has attracted 60 percent among the 1.1 billion smokers worldwide who want to quit, leading them to turn to the use of e-cigarettes. In some cases, where both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes are used together, it could lead to worse health problems.

Cambodia Movement for Health executive director Mom Kong could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Chhea Chhordaphea, Director of the Ministry of Health’s National Centre for Health Promotion, said yesterday e-cigarettes still contain nicotine, other additives and toxic substances which are harmful to smokers’ and non-smokers’ well-being.

I’d rather be toking my e-cigarette than puffing on 40 smokes a day.

There’s something about smoking cigarettes that doesn’t make sense. Can’t put my finger on it, but I’d rather something much more relaxing than trying to bum a fag in pontoon.

Smoking anything makes no sense. But it is a delivery mechanism. Are the e cigs really dangerous? I know there was some controversy in the US for a while. Seems breathing vapors would be bad but not as bad as breathing smoke. But the volume that comes out looks comical. Cant be healthy.

quote from the article -
The Cambodia Movement for Health has asked relevant ministries to ban advertisements selling e-cigarettes on social media as it is detrimental to people’s health. The use of e-cigarettes has a serious impact on the well-being of both smokers and non-smokers as inhaling second-hand smoke can cause damage to the lungs, it said.

To start with the article - inhaling second-hand smoke can cause damage to the lungs, it said.
I think we can all agree with this! But in this case and please correct me if I am wrong. But its not smoke its vapour.
E-Cigarettes typically have a heating element that atomizes a liquid solution called e-liquid. They are activated by taking a puff or pressing a button.
But then again I think the movement is right if we consider the e-liquid comes from a Chinese manufacture without regulation or control.

Just remember, these are the people who will decide if we can come back to Cambodia and maybe look after us in quarantine for 2 weeks...

That's from some anti smoking NGO, they're asking the gov't for stricter measures.

Let's be clear, I don't think that kids should smoke ANYTHING, so this is not in favour of smoking for anyone, and especially not kids. Full disclosure, I'm a smoker, and I think that e-cigarettes that smell like candyfloss are vile.

This is not a promotion for e-cigarettes, but it bugs me that this supposed news article is full of misinformation, so this is what I don't agree with.

1/ It's vapor, not smoke.
2/ Nicotine is optional, so it is possible to smoke e-cigarettes without nicotine, unlike real cigarettes.
3/ Umm no, smoking e-cigarettes doesn't make you drop out of school, take drugs, or have unprotected sex.
4/ And no, smoking regular cigarettes will not turn you into a meth addict either.
5/ And while we are at it, smoking weed or meth does not get you addicted to e-cigarettes or to regular cigarettes. But don't smoke meth, that stuff is evil.
6/ Masturbation doesn't make you blind. (That wasn't in this article, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's in the next one.
