The world of vaping exists in a cloud of confusion and misinformation.
Arguably there’s never been a greater need for clear, authoritative guidance for smokers who are considering switching to vaping.
A new book, Stop Smoking Start Vaping, by Dr Colin Mendelsohn, aims to do just that.
Colin is well qualified to write this book. Specialising in helping people to quit smoking, he has over 35 years experience both in tobacco treatment and in related research. Well known and respected amongst vaping advocates, he has been a strong voice for vapers in a country which is prepared to fine or even imprison smokers who try to quit smoking with electronic cigarettes.
Still, before I opened the book, I was worried that it would be difficult to understand. Too many medical and science professionals suffer from ‘mind blindness’ – an inability to grasp that lay readers do not share the same background of knowledge as they do.
(To be fair, vaping bloggers like myself have to watch out for this too, and bear in mind that most people don’t know what vaping terms like sub-ohm, MTL, DL e.t.c. mean.)
But Stop Smoking Start Vaping was written for clarity. It’s also very comprehensive – but each section is preceded by take home messages for people who don’t have the time or inclination to read each section in depth.
