The Gold Coast Titans have approved the release of Kevin Proctor following an incident during their 19th round match against the Bulldogs yesterday, the team announced. The 33-year-old had posted a story on Instagram on July 24 of himself wearing a Titans t-shirt and smoking an e-cigarette. According to Sportsworld, Proctor is open to a move overseas, but may have to consider retirement if that option is not viable.
Anti-e-cigarette campaign
Meanwhile, a new campaign led by Dr. Colin Mendelsohn, an Australian public health and tobacco treatment expert, aims to combat misinformation about vaping currently circulating in Australia. "Dr. Col's Vape Truths" is an evidence-based video campaign about nicotine e-cigarettes, consisting of a series of eight short videos on the topic.
Dr. Mendelsohn recently announced an event on his website, Mendelsohn, describing it as "Vape Truths." The event consists of eight short videos that aim to correct common misunderstandings about e-cigarettes and are based on Queensland Health's eight misleading and fearmongering videos. These videos cover key evidence such as:
1. The toxicity of vapor is considerably lower than that of cigarette smoke. 2. Electronic cigarettes significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer compared to smoking. 3. Nicotine consumption does not cause serious harm to the lungs. 4. E-cigarettes falsely labeled as nicotine-free and sold on the black market are unreliable disposable products and not from reputable companies. 5. There has never been a death resulting from nicotine consumption. 6. When smokers switch to e-cigarettes, their breathing significantly improves. 7. E-cigarettes are not completely risk-free, but they are much safer than deadly cigarettes. 8. The dosage of most chemicals in vapor is very low, and most of them pose little or no harm.
