VAPING INCREASE: The number of people who have tried e-cigarettes almost doubled in two years. 

Researchers examined the use of the devices across the EU between 2012 and 2014 and found an average increase between of 7.2% to 11.6%, according to the study, published in the journal Tobacco Control.

Lead author Dr Filippos Filippidis from the School of Public Health at Imperial said: “There is debate about the risks and benefits associated with e-cigarettes. For instance we don’t know whether we may start to see diseases emerge in 10-20 years’ time associated with some of the ingredients.”
