How 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?

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.
