In Britain, Health officials have said that e-cigarettes are less dangerous than regular cigarettes and that there is nothing to worry about about the misconceptions that are widely circulated about vaping. A large number of people believe that the dangers of e-cigarettes are no different from those of tobacco. A recent report published by " Action on Smoking and Health Indicates that there has been an increase in the use of e-cigarettes. In Britain alone, the number of vapers has reached 2,6 millions recently.
At the end of 2014, Great Britain had 2,1 millions of vapers and in just five months that number exploded to 2,6 million. In particular, new vapers are people who started smoking very early.
This report also states that the experts have succeeded in spreading some truths about the e-cigarette. Many people still try to quit smoking by limiting their tobacco consumption, on the other hand some people have also started to believe that e-cigarettes are no less dangerous than tobacco.
Last year, 15% of people respondents believed that e-cigarettes could be dangerous for health or even fatal and unfortunately this proportion has increased further due to false studies published in the media. Currently around 22% of people believe that the e-cigarette is harmful to health.
Deborah Arnott, the director general of ASH, said: “ The number of ex-smokers who stay away from tobacco by using electronic cigarettes is growing proving the fair value they can have. But the number of people who mistakenly believe that vaping is as harmful as tobacco is concerning ". She also added “ The growth of this false perception is likely to discourage many smokers from using electronic cigarettes to quit smoking and leave them in a bad situation for their health and that of those around them.. »
