New data from Action on Smoking and Health (ASH UK) found that more than half of UK ex-smokers who quit in the past five years (a total of 2.7 million adults) used vapes in their last quit attempt.
In addition, it revealed that the main motivations for current smokers to use vapes include “smoking less”, “protecting others from the risks of second-hand smoke” or “helping them quit smoking”.
ASH UK also reported that misconceptions about vapes are at an all-time high, with 50% of smokers incorrectly believing that vapes are equally or more harmful than smoking.
The new data also found that while current and ever use of vapes by young people declined between 2023 and 2024, people under 18 are still using these age-restricted products.
“The latest data from ASH UK re-emphasizes the quit credentials of adult vapes and reinforces the important role these products have and must continue to play in permanently eliminating the health burden of smoking,” John Dunne, director general of the UK Vaping Industry Association, said in a statement.
“That is, if vapes are to realize their full potential in supporting smoke-free ambitions, action must be taken to address the growing misunderstandings about less harmful alternatives, which are undoubtedly exacerbated by panic stories in the mainstream media and some mixed messages in the public health field. This can be achieved by introducing a national public education campaign to provide adults with the best, science-based information to help them quit smoking.
