Burning issue: Vaping can help adults quit smoking – but is it a gateway to cigarettes for kids?

Vaping can help adults to quit smoking but health experts say it's best to follow clinically tested approaches if you want to stub out the habit safely. There is also concern about the sharp rise in vaping among young people, which can be a gateway to traditional cigarettes.

'Children who hadn’t smoked but who started vaping were three to five times more likely to smoke conventionally combustible cigarettes than children who never vaped'

To vape or not to vape? 

It’s an understandable question for the almost 70% of smokers who, according to ASH Ireland, wish to quit the habit.
