The US and UK see vaping very differently. Here's why.

September 20, 2019

There is reasonable right to have a sense of confusion when it comes to the conflicting standpoints on public health in different countries. Today's CNN Health article outlines the reasoning why the USA is posed for a flavour-ban, while the U.K. stands by vaping's claim to be 95% safer than combustable cigarette use, and allows vape shops to be established in hospitals.

Key Points:

"In the UK, there doesn't appear to be an outbreak of vaping-related sickness. Neither has vaping's popularity soared among young people who never smoked. Rather, e-cigarettes have been embraced mostly as a way for adults to quit combustible cigarettes. Indeed, health authorities in the UK stand by their support for e-cigarettes as a cessation tool."
