A survey of Israeli adults found widespread confusion about e-cigarette harms: only 29% correctly understood e-cigarettes as less harmful than regular cigarettes, while over half believed they were equally or more harmful. Smokers and older adults were especially likely to overestimate e-cigarette dangers, suggesting public health communication about relative risks has been ineffective.

Relevance to India: None stated.
