Canadian Electronic Cigarette Association: Widespread use of electronic cigarettes can save USD 12.3 billion in economic costs
A study titled "The Potential Impact of the Legalization of Domestic Sales of Nicotine on National Health and Costs" found that as the use of e-cigarettes increases, the direct and indirect costs of healthcare will decrease over time, because E-cigarette products can extend life expectancy and greatly reduce the cost of public health care.
Existing studies have shown that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than combustible tobacco, and the burning process of cigarettes can cause morbidity and mortality. The combination of far fewer chemicals and non-combustion of e-cigarettes significantly reduces health risks, thereby greatly reducing healthcare costs.
"The fairly loose regulatory environment surrounding nicotine e-cigarette products can achieve net health benefits and cost savings." The study concluded.
The study also found that if e-cigarette products can be used in New Zealand, each person’s life will increase by 19 days of health. In addition, it is estimated that because e-cigarette products are less harmful than smoking, the number of people suffering from tobacco-related diseases will decrease, and the New Zealand health system will save 3.4 billion New Zealand dollars (2.43 billion US dollars).
There are an estimated 500,000 smokers in New Zealand, and their potential medical costs are NZ$3.4 billion, which means that each citizen can save US$720. From a Canadian perspective, over time, the widespread adoption of e-cigarettes can save Canada USD 12.3 billion each year—this is the direct and economic cost of smoking at present.
In addition to health care costs, tobacco use also leads to many indirect costs, such as exposure to second-hand smoke, fire losses, production losses, disability, policing, and research funding.
"E-cigarettes provide an opportunity to greatly reduce smoking rates and extend the life expectancy of smokers. However, the fragrance ban proposed by Canada will force current e-cigarette users to re-smoker and slow down smokers’ adoption of e-cigarettes. The focus of public health policy It should be to ensure public health benefits, and restricting taste will undoubtedly cause significant harm to adult smokers and their families." CVA Executive Director Darryl Tempest said.
