Vaping Overtakes Smoking, But Quitting Remains Hard

More people in Great Britain now vape than smoke cigarettes. New data shows 5.4 million adults use e-cigarettes, surpassing the 4.9 million who smoke. Vaping is widely seen as safer than smoking. Yet experts warn it remains highly addictive because of the nicotine. This addictive quality is why many struggle to quit e-cigarettes, even after switching from traditional tobacco. The devices have become the most common way to consume nicotine in the UK. Public health officials are now focused on understanding this addiction. They aim to provide effective support for those who want to stop vaping.
