The document summarizes issues with a CDC report on teen tobacco use from 2011-2015. It states that the CDC reported an increase in e-cig use but no increase in tobacco use, disproving the "gateway effect". However, other studies like the NIH's MFT found decreases in e-cig and tobacco use in teens from 2014-2015. Now anti-vaping organizations are using the flawed CDC data to push for tougher vaping regulations, despite vaping helping many former smokers quit and being 95% less harmful than smoking. The motives for stopping the progress of reduced risk vaping alternatives remain unclear but may be about money over public health.
