Electronic Cigarettes in England- latest trends Good Stuff this!

[Jake6731]

Lots of interesting information nuggets in the PowerPoint titled "Electronic Cigarettes in England- latest trends"

"Evidence conflicts with the view that electronic cigarettes are undermining tobacco control or ‘renormalizing’ smoking, and they may be contributing to a reduction in smoking prevalence through increased success at quitting smoking"

EXCELLENT find!

Thank you!

WOW! This is a major finding: cigarette use decreasing faster than in the previous 4 years, associated with declining NRT use and a parallel increase in consumption of ecigs. Yes, it is circumstantial evidence, but I'm going to call it very strong evidence that ecigs are singularly responsible for the largest decline in smoking rates since 2008, and it looks like the highest success rates in recorded history.

Run up the press:
Ecigs are responsible for the largest decline in smoking rates in years

It appears to be another presentation of the same study and results...

Like Rip Trippers always says..."Smoking is dead, vaping IS the future."

Like Rip Trippers always says..."Smoking is dead, Vaping IS the future."

Only if the government and the Prohibitionists can be neutralized.

This is the April 2014 update. It is an ongoing project.

The stated aim of this is:
"To track use of electronic cigarettes over time and assess how far any increase is accompanied by changes in:
use of other aids to cessation or smoking reduction
key performance indicators for tobacco control
smoking prevalence
smoking cessation rates
motivation to stop smoking
attempts to stop smoking
success of attempts to stop smoking"

It appears they are doing 4 updates to the report per year.

Might not be going far enough. It might require neutering.

Found this myself a little bit ago and decided to search before i re-posted. Very nice data and nice that this is an ongoing study that appears to be sponsored by the British equivalent of some groups who are opposing vaping in the US.
