Government Don’t Know how many Vapers will Return to Smoking after Disposables Ban
Government Minister, Andrea Leadsom, faced questions about assessing risks related to a disposable vape ban impacting smokers' health. Despite potential benefits for over 1 million smokers switching to e-cigarettes, the Government overlooks concerns about relapses into smoking. Dr. Sarah Jackson's UCL research highlights the importance of supporting smokers to switch vapes and the potential harm targeting disposable vapes may have, especially on lower socio-economic classes. Uncertainties exist on the number of vapers who may revert to smoking due to restrictions, posing challenges for future vape regulations.
