    Using e-cigarettes does differ from tobacco in a very clear way which is that

  • 00:12

    it doesn't involve inhaling tobacco smoke, and as the constituents of

  • 00:16

    smoke are the things that kill smokers, that has to be a good thing.

  • 00:20

    People die from the tar, the other constituents of smoke, but not the nicotine.

  • 00:26

    So the nicotine isn't the harmful component and electronic cigarettes allow smokers to get the nicotine

  • 00:32

    without all the other harmful stuff that comes along in cigarette smoke.

  • 00:35

    The first thing to note when considering the safety of e-cigarettes

  • 00:38

    is that the vast majority of e-cigarette users are people who are either still smoking,

  • 00:43

    and using them to cut down on the amount they smoke, or have used them to stop smoking.

  • 00:47

    If we try to put a figure on the relative risk of electronic cigarettes compared with smoking,

  • 00:53

    my view is that it's going to be well under 5 percent of the risk,

  • 00:58

    possibly slightly more for cardiovascular disease

  • 01:01

    but substantially less for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer.

  • 01:05

    When you look at the concentrations of and the nature of the toxins in cigarette smoke,

  • 01:11

    and then you compare that with e-cigarettes you see that really there's no comparison.

  • 01:16

    Most of the toxins in cigarette smoke aren't present at all in e-cigarette vapour

  • 01:21

    those that are present are in concentrations that are a hundred times less or more.

  • 01:28

    Some people say that the advent of electronic cigarettes is renormalising tobacco smoking –

  • 01:33

    so we see people using these devices, and it's making smoking more normal again.

  • 01:39

    Interestingly, we're just not seeing that in the data we have.

  • 01:42

    All that it does is normalise electronic cigarette use.

  • 01:45

    And if we could normalise electronic cigarette use for the nearly 9 million people in the United Kingdom

  • 01:52

    who are still addicted to tobacco, that could only be a good thing.

  • 01:55

    I think it's really important that people be reassured

  • 01:59

    that e-cigarettes, whatever you might see in the press,

  • 02:03

    are considerably safer than smoking,

  • 02:06

    and the evidence is pretty good that they can be effective in helping people to stop.
