Study suggests proposal to prevent uptake by children in UK may discourage use of e-cigarettes instead of tobacco among adults
A ban on disposable vapes could discourage the use of e-cigarettes among people who are trying to quit smoking, research has found.
The government is considering a ban over concerns that children are using the products and becoming addicted. However, a study by academics at University College London and funded by Cancer Research UK has found it would also affect 2.6 million adults across Great Britain, 1.2 million of whom smoke and a further 744,000 who have previously.
