Public Health England Joint Statement on Vaping
July 15, 2016Public Health England has released a joint statement on the use of e-cigarettes. Signed by 13 professional health bodies, the PHE statement calls for greater recognition of vaping as an effective method of quitting cigarettes.
This week Public Health England, the executive agency of the UK Department of Health, released a joint statement on the use of electronic cigarettes published in conjunction with a total of 13 other public health bodies. The statement outlines a unified view from the 13 signatories calling for further consensus on the treatment of evidence on the benefits of using e-cigarettes for smoking cessation purposes.
Key points from the statement
- ‘We all agree that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful than smoking’.
- ‘All the evidence suggests that the health risks posed by e-cigarettes are relatively small by comparison but we must continue to study the long-term effects’.
- ‘And yet, millions of smokers have the impression that e-cigarettes are at least as harmful as tobacco’.
- ‘Over 1.3 million UK e-cigarette users have completely stopped smoking and almost 1.4 million others continue to smoke. We have a responsibility to provide clear information on the evidence we have, to encourage complete smoking cessation and help prevent relapse to smoking’.
- ‘The public health opportunity is in helping smokers to quit, so we may encourage smokers to try vaping but we certainly encourage vapers to stop smoking tobacco completely’.
- ‘We know that e-cigarettes are the most popular quitting tool in the country with more than 10 times as many people using them than using local stop smoking services. However, we also know that using local stop smoking services is by far the most effective way to quit’.
- ‘The current national evidence is that in the UK regular e-cigarette among youth use is almost exclusively confined to those young people who have already smoked, and youth smoking prevalence is continuing to fall’.
