“Smoking is estimated to be twenty times
more harmful to users than vaping e-cigarettes.”

Professor David J Nutt, Neuro-Psychopharmacologist,Imperial College London.

What Is It?

Electronic cigarette products operate by heating an element that vaporises an e-liquid solution inside a cartridge. This contains a solution comprising glycerol, propylene glycol, distilled water and flavourings that may or may not contain nicotine. There are many different forms of these products, including disposable and refillable ones.

Benefits:

  • At least 95% less harmful than cigarettes – vapour produced in e-cigarettes does not contain any of the tar or the 6000+ chemicals found in combustible tobacco smoke.
  • Highly effective to help smokers quit and prevent smoking relapses.

“The UK – transformation through vapes. With an ambition to be smoke-free by 2030, the United Kingdom celebrated its 13.3% smoking rate in 2021 as the lowest ever.94 Part of this success can be attributed to e-cigarettes, also known as vapes, which continues to increase in popularity among local consumers. In 2021, the numbers of adult vapers rose to 7.7% of the population”
