Further on, among its eight key messages, the report again highlighted this figure: "There has been an overall shift towards the inaccurate perception of EC [electronic cigarettes] being as harmful as cigarettes over the last year in contrast to the current expert estimate that using EC is around 95% safer than smoking.[xviii] In the body of the report, we find mention of the 95% figure: It had previously been estimated that EC are around 95% safer than smoking
Key Specs Pros I love the vintage design Display is discreet, so it never looks out of place Like most air purifiers, air quality monitors arent known for being particularly attractive
influenzae , a frequent coloniser of the upper respiratory tract, which may be due to CS potentiating reduced phosphoinositide 3-kinase signalling, triggered by the gram-negative bacteria.57 Using bioparticles from the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli , AM phagocytosis has been shown to be impaired in patients with COPD who were current smokers when compared with patients with COPD who were ex-smokers.40 CS exposure also causes bacteria to become more virulent, with reduced lysis and resistance to macrophage killing such as seen in gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus .4 In this study, CS exposure altered surface charge and hydrophobicity of the bacterial cell wall, which confers resistance to killing by antimicrobial peptides, both effecting the pathogenicity as well as host susceptibility by impairment of AM function

I did not find the data underlying these claims or any other credible research on whether HTPs reduce smoking prevalence
