Critics Warn UK's E-Cigarette Restrictions Could Drive Users Back to Smoking
UK e-cigarette advocates criticize government plans to ban disposable and flavored e-cigarettes, warning it could lead to 21% of users returning to traditional cigarettes.

According to a report from Australian media outlet Whatsnew2day on November 11th, British e-cigarette advocates have criticized the government's plans to ban disposable e-cigarettes and flavored e-cigarettes, claiming that this will result in one-fifth of e-cigarette users reverting back to traditional cigarettes.

 

On November 7th, the British government announced plans for stricter regulations on e-cigarettes. It is reported that ministers are considering restricting e-cigarette flavors to tobacco and menthol, as well as banning their display in stores. Furthermore, disposable e-cigarettes would be completely prohibited.

 

However, David Phillips, the head of an e-cigarette retailer, argues that this move may have unintended consequences. The company conducted a survey of 1000 customers and found that 21% of disposable e-cigarette users ended up returning to smoking.
