The health effects of vaping and e-cigarettes: consensus recommendations

To develop evidence-informed recommendations on the health effects of e-cigarettes to guide healthcare practitioners and the public to balance individual and population harm reduction.

Systematic and umbrella reviews investigating the health effects of e-cigarette use were conducted (September 2017 - January 2024). An international panel of subject matter experts (n = 23) and people in Canada with lived experience (n = 7) participated in a two-day, hybrid meeting, and used a consensus-based approach to develop recommendations. A guidance resource and four accompanying knowledge products were tested for usability with end users.
