1993tassa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Health officials from RSPH, Ecita, ASH and Department of Health have urged more people to have a more positive attitude to vaping as nicotine is not harmful and will therefore help smokers quit in a 'healthier' way and take pressure of NHS services!When switching to vaping, do you think NHS services and cessation groups should offer ecigs as a form of support?

I'm actually one of those who posted on their Facebook page about starting to vape in order to quit smoking. Only time will tell if their little social experiment will actually do any good.

aufin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well, it certainly can't hurt. I read the UK paper. Good points and seems to present a more positive attitude towards vaping as a stop-smoking tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
