The newly-released government-commissioned report promotes vapes as an effective swap to stop tool to help people quit smoking.<\/p>\n
The first e-cigarette and vape stores hit the UK just before 2010, with more than a dozen popping up across the Portsmouth area. <\/p>\n
At Vapestore Portsmouth, in Crasswell Street, one staff member said that most customers were tobacco-users looking move to a smoke-free source for their nicotine hit.<\/p>\n
Shop assistant Michael Dymock said: I have worked here for four years and the majority of customers are people looking to move away from tobacco. <\/p>\n
A lot of people want to start with a high nicotine product and then go down and wean themselves off it.<\/p>\n
Speaking personally, the shop worker said he approved of the plans put forward by the Khan Review. <\/p>\n
He said: I took (smoking) up when I was 18. <\/p>\n
I moved onto vaping a couple of years afterwards.<\/p>\n
But the vape seller remained sceptical that the country could see a smoke-free society within a generation, saying that he believes he would have still taken up smoking even under the proposed increasing age restrictions.<\/p>\n
He said: I would have still possibly taken it up it depends on the people youre around.<\/p>\n
In many e-cigarettes, puffing activates the battery-powered heating device, which vaporises the liquid which often contains nicotine in the cartridge or reservoir.<\/p>\n
