On September 21, according to a report by Vapingpost, although Public Health England (PHE) is working hard to encourage smokers to switch to e-cigarettes to reduce the harm, most British smokers are still skeptical.

A study commissioned by the Yorkshire Cancer Research Center in 2019 surveyed 844 current smokers and 1,156 former smokers, and found that tobacco users are still "suspecting" e-cigarettes, and many said they would not try to smoke e-cigarettes cigarette. Research shows that despite PHE's efforts to encourage smokers to switch to proven safer alternatives, only one in ten ex-smokers quit smoking through e-cigarettes.

Another study funded by the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) also yielded similar results. The study by King’s College London, published in the journal Addiction, shows that smokers and former smokers in the UK still believe that vaporizers are more harmful than they actually are.

Researchers from the CRUK study found that fewer than 6 out of 10 people accurately believe that e-cigarettes are less harmful than tobacco. They compiled the data through an online survey of 1,720 British smokers and former smokers, and pointed out that misunderstandings about the dangers of e-cigarettes appear to be increasing, and they are particularly serious among smokers and those who have never tried e-cigarettes.

In response to this study, Martin Dockrell, the head of tobacco control at the Department of Public Health of the United Kingdom, once said that despite the efforts of the organization, it is clear that there is still a long way to go.

"E-cigarettes are not without risks, but they are much less harmful than smoking. If you smoke, switching to e-cigarettes can save your life."
