Prof. Dr. İrfan Coşkun stated that cigarette companies are constantly conducting R&D studies to make money and that the money spent for such researches could be more beneficial for human health.


“I wish they would spend the money spent for this study for human health”

“Let me tell you what our thoracic surgeons have told us and what we have received from them, it has been scientifically proven that cigarettes are more harmful than real cigarettes when they are first introduced. So cigarette companies are developing technical laboratory research to reduce these side effects and this is a profit. People are constantly doing R&D studies on this to see how they can make money. I wish they would spend the money spent on this study for human health. Therefore, electronic cigarettes with fewer and fewer side effects are coming to the market, but scientific research for them will emerge in the coming years. We are trying to convey these to you by looking at scientific studies.”
