Phillip Morris owns Juul now, so it doesn’t surprise me that there might be efforts to throw smoking under the bus globally.
Altria, not Phillip Morris, bought a 35% stake, not full ownership.
Altria is Phillip Morris Inc's new name.

#12How did they determine vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking? I don't see references to the methods they used to make this assessment. Where did that number come from? As far as I can tell, the number was just made up!
You do know the number 95% comes very frequently from statistical analysis right?
You know putting "right" at the end turns your comment from helpful to dickish, right?

This is not news, this is propaganda.

No, Dr Rosemary is not quoted in the article as coming up with the number 95%. That number is mentioned before she is quoted or her name is used

You may be referring to p-values, and the arbitrary 0.05 threshold but in that case, the connection is risky at best and wrong in general (common misinterpretation of p-value as probability of alternative being false)

It comes up at least 95% of the time when discussing statistical analysis.

#19I call bullshit, they can’t just put out numbers like this.
I remember that one of the last times that I stopped smoking happened because I was literally overdosing on nicotine from vaping almost continuously while drinking.
I stopped for almost one year at the time because I was completely nauseated by vaping.
I think that night was much worse than anything I smoked before, probably comparable to a red Marlboro smoked cutting the filter out (thanks Stephen king and the black tower.. -.- )

#20Misleading title. That's just a filling sentence in the middle of the article.
