For the first time in British history, the use of e-cigarettes has surpassed traditional smoking among adults. This significant shift reflects changing consumption patterns. Data from the Office for National Statistics revealed that one in ten Britons over the age of 16 uses e-cigarettes regularly or occasionally, which equates to approximately 5.4 million people, compared to only 9.1% who still smoke traditional tobacco. The 'Daily Mail' confirmed that health experts in the UK emphasized the importance of imposing strict controls on the e-cigarette industry amidst the rapid shift in smoking patterns, noting that vaping poses numerous health risks.
