. Learn about the benefits of electronic cigarettes
LONDON (Reuters) - The risk of using electronic cigarettes is 95 percent less than the risk of smoking, British health experts said on Monday, urging smokers to switch to health benefits, Reuters reported Tuesday.
In a review of evidence on the dangers of e-cigarettes, recommended by the Department of Public Health in England, experts said that this type of cigarettes may actually help about 20 thousand British smokers, and perhaps more to quit smoking annually.
There was "a great deal of public misunderstanding" about nicotine, with less than 10 percent of adults aware that the vast majority of the risks are not caused by the organic compound.
The evidence does not support fears that e-cigarettes are an entry point for tobacco smoking among young people.
"Our new review reinforces the conclusion that electronic cigarettes pose only a small amount of the risk of smoking, with less than 95 per cent damage and little risk to passers-by," said John Newton, a professor and director of Health Improvement at the Department of Public Health.
The report of the Department of Public Health in England came after a study of American Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine on electronic cigarettes.
After summarizing data from hundreds of scientific studies, the research also said that electronic cigarettes are probably less harmful than conventional cigarettes.
The Department of Public Health in England called on smokers and health authorities to act according to the evidence contained in these recent reports.
