Vaping Poem by Paul Reed

Vaping is better than tobacco
So we were told yesterday
But now there is an alternative view
Now its just as bad they say

But on reading beyond the headlines
Which of course are there to grab our attention
It appears the trials that they set up
Deserve a bit more of a mention

For the effects on the aorta that they report
Are from 5 minutes of tobacco they tell
Then compared to the effect of vaping
From fully a half hour's spell

Why pick such an extended vape
To base their comparison on?
Why not compare like-for-like sessions
Has all common sense got up and gone?

If we restrict vaping times
To the same as a cigarette burn
Then I reckon it's six times more healthy
That's the lesson I learn

But the scientists like to confuse us
And change the rules at their ease
So my message is to carry on vaping
But stop after 5 minutes please!
