Since a bunch of people in my feed are arguing about vaping, it's worth setting out some first principles here.
The basic one is this: society did extraordinary things to reduce tobacco smoking, and it was because of the combination of TWO things: addictiveness and deadliness.
📊 #StatShotSaturdays #IJCCM
Relative Risk (RR) simplified:
📌RR = 1 → No association
📌RR > 1 → Higher risk
📌RR < 1 → Protective effect
Simple concept. Essential interpretation.

📰 Ever seen a headline like “risk doubles”?
That’s #RelativeRisk! It compares the likelihood of an event between groups.
☝️But #AbsoluteRisk is needed to interpret this correctly. Going from 1 in 1,000 to 2 in 1,000 = a 100% increase, but only 1 extra case per 1,000 people.
In the absence of credible, trustworthy health information, our narrative-generating systems take over to fill knowledge vacuums.
Does this sound like an optimal situation to anyone?

In a qualitative study on US youth:
Those who incorrectly think e-cigs are more harmful than cigs, think so because tobacco is more "natural" and derived from plants.
"Only a few participants thought that e-cigarettes were less harmful than cigarettes."

Are nicotine pouches a harm reduction hero or villain? The media still debates, but with lower health risks than smoking, they offer a smokeless future. #NicotinePouches #HarmReduction #PublicHealthOpportunity #RelativeRisk 🚭🚀 https://t.co/3MwXHJfeVO
#tuesdaymotivations Always use absolute numbers not relative. But hey when you read a nutrition headline which one do you think they will use? #healthcoach #absoluterisk #relativerisk
📰 When discussing risks, focusing on the #AbsoluteRisk rather than just the #RelativeRisk is key!
It prevents misinterpretations and fear-mongering and allows individuals to grasp the real magnitude of the risk, aiding in better decision-making.
Here's an example as to where information to consumers, @LungAssociation @HaroldWimmer, is not concealed.

Should the drug varenicline ("Chantix" in the US) be used in an adolescent vaping cessation trial?
I don't think so. How can they justify the risks when the benefits of quitting vaping are so small?

Pharma marketing almost always boils down to sleight of hand between #AbsoluteRisk & #RelativeRisk.
Too often, statin advocates will communicate a drug’s relative risk reduction (impressive number), without quoting the absolute risk reduction (trivial number), a practise we consider unethical (see graph)
Great deep dive by @profnfenton on pharma's ROUTINE manipulation of #AbsoluteRisk, #RelativeRisk, #NNT, & test design to create "statistical illusions."

@Tom_Maguire @AlexBerenson Let’s age stratify shall we, Tom ... and then tell us how effective the damn things are.

Does someone pay you to do this? Because you’ve been at it for awhile.
@arijitchakrav @kprather88 💯Arijit! ...and it's been on the increase for years! We speak about this issue often in public health circles. There or 2 types of epidemiologists. 1- Those who deny the science of decades of causal associations revealed via careful #RelativeRisk studies. And, 2/
Aside:
I'm very lucky to have come to know the work of one of Dr. Malhotra's most courageous allies, Dr. David Diamond (@ldlskeptic), who does a fabulous job of explaining the difference betwee #RelativeRisk & #AbsoluteRisk.
Yes, figures can say a lot.... This paper has important words, too, but spend a few moments with each figure, read the keys, and ponder some what if? questions, please.

To those who doubt whether misperceptions about relative risks across nicotine products matter, I offer into evidence a brand new Kim et al in @BioMedCentral Public Health.
