E-cigarettes are as dangerous as combusting smokies. The electronic option is not a "cool" choice. EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis, said he opposes e-cigs as much as the organic tobacco filled cigarettes and they also must carry a health warning.

The young generation of Britain is increasingly opting for e-cigs inn place of traditional smoking. The rate of turning to electronic cigarettes is the highest in Europe, a new report mention. The researches reveal that every four minute one British switch to vaping and this is continued since past four years, reports Eucrative.

In total, the report reveals that 2.2 million British people now use e-cigarettes representing a 55% increase in just three years, followed by 1.5 million French, 760,000 Italians, and 750,000 Germans. The figures are increasing incessantly and a huge number of new vaping fans is expected to add to the existing numbers, the health experts warn.

According to Vaping Post, as you can read, "harm-reduction" suggests that the personal electronic cigarette or vaporizer is not harmless and will probably never be. The little difference that is caused by using the liquid nicotine and not burning the tobacco does not convert the liquid into a benign option.

British American Tobacco conducted a new report through Ernst & Young and found that e-cigarettes use has rocketed by nearly 250 percent in the last three years, to 756,000. Almost 850,000 Brits have given up combusting cigarettes and replaced them with liquid filled electronic devices. Half of the French population has quit traditional smoking fully.

The rapid increase may relate to what Public Health England said in a statement. The executive agency of the Department of Health in the UK and others "have argued that they are 95 percent less harmful than cigarettes," the researchers mentioned. Vapers have turned to e-cigs because they found them less harmful and these helped them cut on combusting cigarettes.
