U.K. Newspaper: PHE is A Vape Industry Puppet

After Public Health England (PHE) updated its review of the evidence on e-cigarettes and even recommended that the National Health Service (NHS) make them available on prescription, the backlash was really inevitable. "Why is the NHS listening to the siren voices of the vape manufacturers?" asks Victoria Coren-Mitchell in the Guardian. "It's appalling that a state-funded, state-sanctioned public health body should recommend vapes to people who want to stop smoking," she complained. But Coren-Mitchell claims that "the answer" - the answer! - to the problem of smoking is already well-known: Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking. Why isn't it being promoted by the NHS? she asks. While the author may have good intentions – she says she has no problem with smoking or vaping, if that's what you want to do – she fundamentally misunderstands how to tackle the issue of smoking in society, and why the PHE recommendation was made in the first place. The short version is that there is no magic bullet that can solve the problem. Any purported "easy way" doesn't work for everybody, be it vaping or the words of a "visionary" like Allen Carr.
