No they don't, not based on this study.
See published Letter to the @thetimes (cut and pasted below due to paywall) from @UKCTAS Director, @SPECTRUMRes colleague and respiratory physician Prof John Britton
Professor John Britton, Director of @UKCTAS puts down @ProfGlantz with a stinging letter to the @thetimes about the "fundamentally flawed" study on vaping and respiratory disease.
"The European Respiratory Journal editorial is wrong in relation to each and every one of the seven arguments put forward." - Prof John Britton of @UKCTAS responds to the cannabis case study featured in the media today. #vaping https://t.co/xNfdIuW04g
👏👏👏 @UKCTAS on the @ERSpublications paper: “There’s nothing in this new paper that should change advice to smokers. If you smoke, switch. If you don’t smoke, don’t vape. And just as you wouldn’t buy unlicensed alcoholic drinks, don’t vape cannabis or other bootleg products.”
Conservatives join the Lib Dems in using supporting whisky *exports* (on which no UK excise duty is paid) as a justification for 'reviewing' UK excise duty on spirits.
Anyone in need a fix of truth, candour and wisdom? The 2019 London E-cigarette Summit resources are now available:

We’re in Edinburgh for the 6th Alcohol Evidence In Policy & Practice workshop now run by @SPECTRUMRes | It’s so great to see such a wide variety of delegates excited to learn about alcohol policy and practise! #alcoholpolicy19
@UKCTAS now Prof John Britton on vaping and lung disease. Sets out risks which are real but significantly lower than from tobacco smoking. #ECigSummit US showing acute lung injury patterns. Isolated in time, place +person. Something special happening not routine vaping caused.
This @bmj_latest blog from Dr John Britton (@UKCTAS) aligns pretty well with my priors regarding the importance of pursuing #RethinkNicotine.
