Nicotine without smoke: Tobacco harm reduction | RCP London


We would urge everyone to read the Royal College of Physicians' report and share it with your friends and family members. The report highlights what we as vapers have known all along, here are just a few of the key points of the full report.

• Smoking is the biggest avoidable cause of death and disability, and social inequality in health, in the UK.
• People smoke because they are addicted to nicotine, but are harmed by other constituents of tobacco smoke.
• E-cigarettes are proving much more popular than NRT as a substitute and competitor for tobacco cigarettes.
• There are concerns that e-cigarettes will “renormalise” smoking, but to date, there is no evidence of this occurring to any significant degree in the UK.
• In the interests of public health it is important to promote the use of e-cigarettes, NRT and other non-tobacco nicotine products as widely as possible.
• There is a need for regulation to reduce adverse effects of e-cig use but the regulation should not be allowed to significantly inhibit the development and use of harm-reduction products.

 

From the original BBC web page :

"Around one in 20 adults in England uses e-cigarettes, and nearly all of these are ex-smokers or current smokers who are trying to cut down or quit."

That's amazing, the UK still world leaders on health.

Royal college of physicians is well respected in UK, so this is probably good news for vapers, even outside UK.
