Responding to the study, Rebeca Fernndez, the director for food safety, research and innovation at FoodDrinkEurope, which represents the European food and drink industry, said: To connect the consumption of processed foods with the tobacco and fossil fuel industries is irresponsible and outrageously misleading
Acrylamide, for example, is released from the heated amino acids in fried food, and can be a health risk - especially when consumed in substantial, regular quantities
Exposure to secondhand smoke also poses serious health risks to non-smokers, particularly children, who are more prone to respiratory infections, asthma, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
People can change their nicotine content, so to quit smoking they might start off on a higher strength e-liquid and then they can taper down really quite gradually in a much more sophisticated way than they can with NRT, which is probably good for weight maintenance and for weight loss, said co-author Linda Bauld, professor of health policy at the University of Stirling and deputy director of the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies
