If you are still feeling a little uneasy about taking the leap into vaping, the most recent remarks from physicians at a London summit might ease your mind. According to one report, doctors were quick to praise electronic cigarettes and even recommended them for smokers that could not quit using tobacco.


There are currently an estimated 7 million people using electronic cigarettes in Europe. While some nations are cracking down on the tobacco-free devices, there is still a growing movement as smokers claim they find freedom from tobacco by switching to smokeless vapor instead.


At the London summit, Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos from the University Hospital Gathuisberg in Belgium insisted that the risks were miniscule, at around 1/1000th of the health risk of using tobacco. “We can recommend that smokers who cannot quit should switch to e-cigarettes,” he told reporters.


Dr. Farsalinos believes that electronic cigarettes are the most effective option for smoking cessation, citing personal research showing vast success among adults that used ecigs. Where other forms of nicotine replacement therapy routinely fail, ecigs seem to be working for the majority of smokers. “The best alternative before was around 20%. In my research up to 80% of participants using e-cigarettes have quit,” he said.

As a doctor, I'm finding colleagues perceptions mixed. Mostly from poor information and misunderstanding. All of MY colleagues would support the use of ecigs.

Perceptions skewed by misinformation definately.

The science is there :) all they have to do is look for it. And I believe opinions of this huge proportion that directly affect public health and human life, should be taken ONLY on scientific grounds. We all know cigs Kill. We also know that ECIGS DONT kill, they havent in 15 years, while how many have died from smoking related illnesses?
