Vaping has reached record levels in Britain with an estimated 4.3 million people being active vapers, according to a new report.
The data, shared exclusively with the PA news agency, suggests that 8.3% of adults in England, Wales and Scotland vape. Just 10 years ago this figure was 1.7% – equating to around 800,000 people.
Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), which complied the report, said a “vaping revolution” had taken place over the past decade. Of the 4.3 million current vapers, around 2.4 million are ex-smokers, 1.5 million are current smokers and 350,000 have never smoked a cigarette.
