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

[Clive Bates @Clive_Bates]

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.

[IBVTA @TheIBVTA]

"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 @UKCTAS]

"Vaping enables smokers to quit for good. It’s helping smokers, not harming them." Prof John Britton

[Fresh - Making Smoking History @FreshSmokeFree]

Useful analysis of this from Prof John Britton of @RCPLondon @SPECTRUMRes @UKCTAS

Big concerns over this #vaping article. Worth a read.

[Consumer Choice Center @ConsumerChoiceC]

👏👏👏 @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.”

[Colin Angus @VictimOfMaths]

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:

[Fresh - Making Smoking History @FreshSmokeFree]

@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.

[Joe Gitchell @jgitchell]

This @bmj_latest blog from Dr John Britton (@UKCTAS) aligns pretty well with my priors regarding the importance of pursuing #RethinkNicotine.
