Trends in Smoking (UK) and E-Cigarette Use (Great Britain)

We noted in our previous report the significant rise in vaping and decline in smoking since 2011. Around 7% of the adult population in Great Britain currently vapes, which equates to around 6 million vapers. The year on year increase in vaping is matched by the continuing major reduction in smoking in the UK with under 15% of the adult population currently smoking.
