NYT and vaping: How to lie by saying only true things (2022)

This analysis dissects a 2022 New York Times article on teenage vaping, showing how it uses technically true but misleading phrasing and juxtaposition to imply legal nicotine vapes caused Lizzie Burgess’s EVALI lung injury—despite definitive evidence that the 2019 EVALI outbreak stemmed from illicit THC products contaminated with vitamin E acetate. The piece also explores the rise of unregulated synthetic nicotine vapes evading FDA oversight, industry and expert perspectives on vaping regulation, and reader reactions to the NYT article’s biased framing.
