How e-cigarettes can reduce the harm caused by smoking (UK)
How e-cigarettes can reduce the harm caused by smoking | Victoria Macdonald on Health and Social Care



Yet next week, there will be what amounts to an official acknowledgment that sometimes it is simply impossible to persuade some smokers to quit so, instead, there needs to be harm reduction.
The 'nudge' approach, which the government promotes as an effective method of changing people’s behaviour. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) will publish draft guidance on harm reduction and will evaluate the use of pharmaceutical products, like zyban, that are licensed to help people cut down, behavioural support and counselling, self-help techniques and nicotine-replacement products, including nicotine patches and electronic cigarettes.

Lots of e-cigarette opponents have posted comments (condemning e-cigarettes) on this article. It would be helpful if more vapers posted comments.
