E-cigarette sales in Spain drop by 70 per cent

Despite reports that the vapour in E-cigarettes contains nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco, and that a type of glycerine used in production sits on the lungs and does not break down, Italy and France have been promoting them as safer alternatives to smoking and doctors, oncologists and pneumologists have been recommending them to patients who cannot give up mainstream cigarettes, says the ANEV.
They consider that Spain's blanket ban on 'vaping' near schools, health centres or in public places, and continued health warnings about E-cigarettes, are 'purely financially-motivated' and aimed at benefiting large pharmaceutical giants who provide drugs to help people stop smoking - a way of clawing back multi-millions in taxes.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the use of E-cigarettes is not such a healthy alternative to smoking as the public has been led to believe

Looks like 'Think Spain' (Whoever they are) know all about it then. Building work has done more harm to my body than smoking & vaping.

It makes me so angry that the WHO can make such statements without any evidence (and plenty to the contrary)

If less people are smoking cigarettes then less tax revenue is generated plus people will live longer causing more financial strain once they are too old to work. Even if vaping wasn't completely safe which I'm not sure of it can't be worse than cigarettes.
