What is an e-cigarette?
An e-cigarette is a battery powered device that heats a solution called e-liquid or juice. E-liquid contains nicotine and flavours that are commonly found in food.
E-cigarettes allow you to inhale nicotine in a vapour rather than smoke. This is a much cleaner and safer way to get the nicotine “hit” that you usually get from cigarettes.
Using an e-cigarette is called “vaping” as there is no burning involved.

Are e-cigarettes safer than smoking cigarettes?
Major health authorities such as Public Health England, the Royal College of Physicians, the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training, the Royal College of General Practitioners and charities including Cancer Research UK all support the use of e-cigarettes in adults as a convenient way to cut down on the number of cigarettes they smoke, or to quit smoking altogether.
What about the dangers?
Using an e-cigarette is not completely without risk. But we do know that e-cigarettes are much less harmful than if you were to continue to smoke.

In the UK e-cigarettes are tightly regulated for safety and quality. When used as intended nicotine contained in e-cigarette liquids is relatively harmless.
