The charity, which supports the use of e-cigarettes, suggested that \u2018unfounded concerns\u2019 over the health risks were likely behind the decline, after its survey also found that only 39% of smokers in the UK currently believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking. It comes as an international review published earlier this week (14 October) by Cochrane found e-cigarettes are 70% more effective than nicotine replacement therapy \u2013 including patches, gum, oral strips, lozenges, and nasal spray \u2013 at helping smokers kick the habit. Health professionals have an important role to play, as they can \u2018give smokers the confidence to try an e-cigarette\u2019, by providing information on how they can be used to manage cravings and that they are a much safer alternative to smoking.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nursinginpractice.com\/clinical\/addiction-and-mental-health\/unfounded-concerns-over-health-risks-likely-behind-fall-in-e-cigarette-use-charity-suggests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Unfounded concerns\u2019 over health risks likely behind fall in e-cigarette use, charity suggests<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20DECEPTIVE%20ANTI-VAPING%20MISINFORMATION%20CAUSING%20SMOKERS%20TO%20NOT%20SWITCH%20AWAY%20FROM%20SMOKING\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In its annual survey, carried out by YouGov, Action on Smoking Health (ASH) found numbers had declined from 3.6 million users in 2019 (7.1% of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vaping-news","wpcat-147-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22948"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22949,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22948\/revisions\/22949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
