A study recently carried out based on the latest data from the English Public Health Department has assured that at least 20,000 people have quit smoking thanks to the use of electronic cigarettes. In addition, it is also concluded that electronic cigarettes are less harmful than conventional tobacco. At the same time they are less harmful to passive smokers.
The study states that e-cigarettes have hardly any health risks compared to conventional cigarettes. If we think about how tobacco affects passive smokers, we can say that e-cigarettes bring multiple benefits to this sector. With e-cigarettes we can say that passive smokers quit smoking.
Although there are people who consider that vaping is just as harmful to health as regular cigarettes, the truth is that studies show the opposite. One of the conclusions made by John Newton, Director of Health of the English Public Health Department, is that it is a pity that because of this thinking there are millions of people harming themselves by smoking tobacco.
In addition, John Newton said in one of his statements that electronic cigarettes have become the most popular smoking cessation weapon among smokers in Great Britain. He also concludes that people who use e-cigarettes are at least 95 percent less harmful than conventional smokers. All these reasons have led to a decision that will be the talk of the town for years to come.
One of the measures they want to take is the following: the English Public Health Department wants to promote the sale of electronic cigarettes on prescription in British hospitals to encourage people to quit smoking. It also wants to set up special rooms for their use where patients can meet to vape and, thus, manage to quit smoking for good.
This whole initiative is to be promoted with exhaustive medical control. It will be necessary for doctors in the UK National Health System to prescribe electronic cigarettes to those people who want to quit smoking for good.
