E-cigarettes

UK doctors encourage smokers to use E-cigarettes

That's according to the Royal College of Physicians, which has just published a report recommending smokers switch to E-cigs.

The docs want to quash the "increasingly common misconception" that vaping is dangerous, and said smokers should be "reassured and encouraged" to switch to the gadgets over traditional tobacco products.

This counters recent research that claimed E-cigarettes were no safer than normal ones. Researchers at the University of California claimed that the vapour from E-cigarettes damaged the smoker's DNA in ways that could cause cancer.
