The electronic cigarette is now the most popular smoking cessation in England and based on Public Health England’s latest e-cigarette review, which was carried out by independent tobacco experts, vaping nicotine via an e-cig is likely far less harmful than smoking tobacco.
In other words, e-cigs are not only helping some smokers quit, they’re also safer than the cigarettes they’re actively replacing. And they’re not only helping smokers save their own lives, they’re also helping smokers save money.
Cost Analysis: Smoking VS Vaping
In the United Kingdom, smoker spend an average of £400 every 3 months on cigarettes, whereas vapers spend an average of £190 every 3 months on vaping supplies, according to data from the Office of National Statistics and Action on Smoking and Health. In other words, vaping is cheaper than smoking.
Just how much cheaper is vaping than smoking? Based on the numbers above, the average vaper spends about half as much as the average smoker does on their nicotine supplies.
How Many People Has Vaping Helped Quit Smoking?
In the United Kingdom, e-cigarettes could be contributing to at least 20,000 smokers successfully quitting cigarettes on an annual basis and possibly many more than that, according to an e-cig review carried out by independent tobacco experts on behalf of Public Health England (PHE).
Electronic Cigarette Safety
The latest scientific evidence shows that e-cigs carry no more than 5% of the health risk associated with smoking cigarettes. In addition, they pose no serious health concern to bystanders. The aforementioned PHE e-cig review found their risk to bystanders to be insignificant — or as PHE put it, the risk is “negligible.”
For smokers who switch to vaping, PHE’s review found the health benefits to be substantial.
In light of all this, it should come as little surprise to find that the government-backed healthcare services in the U.K. are formally recommending that smokers switch to vaping.
