Poll shows 'two thirds' of e-cig users quit smoking in Wales

A poll of smokers and vapers in Wales shows that 65% of e-cigarette users have managed to quits smoking and a third 63% say they’re using them as an aid to stop smoking tobacco, according to the British Heart Foundation.

The survey comes as thousands of smokers make a quit attempt this No Smoking Day.

The poll also highlighted that 70% of all e-cigarette users would like more research to be done into the potential risks of using e-cigarettes and over a quarter said they are confused about the health messages around them.

The Welsh Government is currently considering a ban on the restriction of e-cigarettes in some public places arguing they have the potential to 'renormalise' smoking.
