E-Cig Debate Continues to Rage but UK Gov Embraces

They also seem to point out that the alarmist reports in the media have been counterproductive and created a misleading impression when they state;
- nearly half the population (44.8%) don’t realise e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking
They also pointed out that hardly anybody has taken up e-cigs who were never previous smokers, allaying the fear that e-cigs are a gateway drug.
But it's not all good news, in spite of these expert-recommended reviews. Policy makers, particularly in Wales, are continuing to push strong restrictions on indoor e-cigarette use.
