Recently there have been quite a few serious articles in the media regarding vaping. Vaping has been around for well over a decade and until recently there have been no health issues found relating to vaping.

In general using an electronic cigarette is many times safer than smoking traditional cigarettes.

Recent tests carried out by Public Health England and other official bodies have concluded that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking a normal cigarette.
