5% of Scottish adults use e-cigarettes - Scottish Health Study

[srs]

BBC new report about the Scottish Health Survey for 2014: E-cigarettes used by 1 in 20 Scots, says health survey - BBC News.

Interestingly it found that "..just 1% of people who had never smoked regularly said they had tried e-cigarettes" which suggests the often-cited fears that electronic cigarettes will encourage rafts of people to go on to become smokers are presently unfounded.

And the 1% probably tried 0 nic juice. This whole "gateway to a lifetime of smoking" argument is straight up BS. But I'm glad that UK isn't as negative as it used to be, or at least it seems like to me (i don't follow vape news that much).

srs and considering smoking prevalence is over 10% that still means that almost half of all smokers have tried e cigarettes... pretty good going
