Professor Andrew Bush: “The onus is on the industry to show that vapes are safe”

Fresh from a recent UK Government announcement that disposable e-cigarettes are to be banned from sale and supply, Professor Andrew Bush, consultant paediatric chest physician at the Royal Brompton hospital, gives his reaction to the news in Episode 4 of ‘More than a Hospital’.

Professor Bush, who has authored nearly 700 papers in peer reviewed journals, has long been involved in a campaign to introduce legislation to stop the advertising and promotion of e-cigarettes to young children. He has also spoken to a number of media outlets about the issue, where he has re-emphasised that there is simply not enough research on the ‘potential damaging’ effects of vaping.

In the episode, he also talks about the changes in medicine in his long and illustrious career, which include over 33 years at the Brompton where his clinical practice and research spans many areas of paediatric respiratory medicine, especially invasive and non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation in asthma and cystic fibrosis and clinical respiratory physiology.
