Stacks of academic research papers and public health journals have been published in response to research incentives and the funding associated with anti-nicotine research.factor has been identified as one of the leading factors behind the rising bad science and nicotine misinformation. Publish or Perish is an adage describing the pressure to publish academic work in order to succeed in an academic career.
Apart from the pressure to publish papers, the absence of adequate funding for nicotine products and alternative products has also led to bad science taking precedence in the public health discourse. She added that bad science was the reason why nicotine misinformation was rampant and, “Science isn't based on trust…It's about sharing and having an audience on the other side, that will interrogate the data and come to their conclusions. Where there should be absolutely no trust or maybe even mistrust is when the data isn't shared and when methods aren't available.
“Here's the question I pose to people who questioned the industry. Why don't you replicate ? I am a scientist and I have replicated studies in astrophysics and cosmology, because the results were wrong or questionable, and I replicate them. I showed that they were invalid and an amount of my publications are like this. So I would ask people in tobacco control - if you do not trust the industry, go and replicate them.
