The surprising number of adults who both smoke and vape

A study by University College London reveals the increase in "dual use" of smoking and vaping among adults in England, particularly in young adults. Researchers noted a rise from 3.5% in 2016 to 5.2% in 2024, with 34% of smokers now also vaping. The proportion of smokers who vape daily and smoke less has increased, possibly indicating a shift towards harm reduction. Concerns were raised about misconceptions on vaping harms hindering smoking cessation efforts. Accurate messaging on smoking and vaping risks is crucial for informed decision-making. Initiatives like the swap-to-stop scheme aim to support full switching from smoking to vaping for improved public health.
