Hi all
I reached out to Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos to thank him for all the work that he is doing in the field of vaping research.
For those who don't know, Dr Farsalinos is a cardiologist that has put in a massive amount of effort recently into researching the effects of vaping on our health. He is fighting a brave fight against the colossal might of the tobacco and pharma industries. In my view he needs to be applauded and supported.
I asked him if he could send us ECIGS SA members a message that I would then post on our forum.
Here is what he sent me:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
"The scientific community always supports the right of smokers to use an alternative, less harmful product.
We will always support the initiative of e-cigarette users to organize themselves in forums and defend their right to choose, and to protect their health.
E-cigarettes probably represent a revolution in tobacco harm reduction, and we expect significant benefits on smokers who switch from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes.
In this context, I wish to the South African vaping community every success in their efforts to support their rights. We will always stand by them and support their goals.
Your efforts should concentrate on proper information of both vapers and smokers but also on applying pressure to the manufacturers to actively engage in research and testing of the products.
You all deserve good quality products and proper testing and research to establish the benefits and potential problems of e-cigarette use.
Good luck and be patient. We are fighting for the truth to prevail, and it will."

What a fantastic message this is!
This guy is great and I am so glad he is out there fighting the fight. He needs to be supported.
You can look him up on FaceBook and you can check out several of his research studies on the following web site:
