Half of vape users 'likely' to start smoking again due to new ban
A UK survey of vapers revealed over half are likely to return to smoking if a vaping ban is imposed, with 52% fearing they will revert to cigarettes. Twenty-six percent have tried to quit vaping, some switching to cigarettes, nicotine pouches, or gum. Concerningly, a third might turn to unregulated vaping post-ban, despite being aware of the associated risks. Many prioritize product smell and flavor over safety assurance. The study suggests exploring safe, regulated alternatives and highlights the potential of nicotine pouches in reducing smoking rates. Accessibility and simplicity are key preferences among vapers.
