However, both the UK Government and the NHS have been vocal about the benefits of vaping and declared it safer than smoking. In fact, they actively encourage smokers to swap to vaping to aid their health. If vaping wasn’t safe, would the National Health Service espouse vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking? Would the Government include vaping as part of their Smoke Free England campaign?

Both within the world of vaping and beyond. We know cigarettes are harmful, smoking has been popular since the early 1900’s. Due to the relatively short time that e-cigs have been available, anti-vaping groups cling to the time frame as a way to prove smoking is bad.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yet, Dr. Riccardo Polosa and researchers from the University of Catania have now taken a big step. They want to neutralise these concerns, and thanks to a 3 and a half year study they might be able too. It shows no evidence of health concerns in long-term e-cigarette use among vapers who have never smoked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This research is the first of its kind. This long-term research tracks people who have never smoked. It aimed to: "disentangle responses driven by chronic exposure to EC (electronic cigarette) aerosol emissions from those related to previous smoking history".

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                What Does Vaping Do to Your Body?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The study had participants who had never smoked but were vapers. Also, participants who had never smoked or vaped. Baseline figures, quality control and results tracking was rigorous.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Using accurate equipment and methodology. These procedures were in place to track the following Health outcomes. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), body weight, lung function, respiratory symptoms, as well as exhaled biomarkers of airway inflammation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Due to the scarcity of vapers who had never smoked, the sample size consisted of 9 vapers. Also, 12 control subjects who had never smoked or vaped. This is a limitation of the study. Though as the sample size was small, they were able to check all individual data sets. One by one to detect signs of negative changes and found no such changes'.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This is a very encouraging piece of research which concluded by the lead author stating:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "we found no decrements in spirometric indices, development of respiratory symptoms, changes in markers of lung inflammation in exhaled air or findings of early lung damage on HRCT, when compared with a carefully matched group of never-smoking non-EC users."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Due to the small sample size, the subject needs further investigation. The conclusion also states:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "While the sample size was small, the results of this study may provide some preliminary evidence that long-term use of ECs is unlikely to raise significant health concerns in relatively young users. Further studies in a larger sample of EC users with and without a history of tobacco smoking are warranted."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The Challenge of Finding "Never Smokers" who Vape

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                One of the key issues flagged was that in Italy, as in the UK, vapers that have never been smokers are rare. Vapers who have never smoked tobacco are far less likely to continue to use e-cigarettes in the medium or long term. The nicotine delivered in e-cigarettes is far less addictive than had previously been assumed. It is not comparable with the addictiveness of traditional combustible cigarettes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                By the time the study finished three of the 16 original participants were excluded. Two because they stopped vaping completely. One other because they began vaping sporadically. Another four did not come back for final testing at the end of the study. Quite heartbreaking for researchers that had worked so hard to find these "unicorns".

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Interestingly, of the 15 non-smokers in the control in the study three were also excluded. One due to a city move, two because they had started smoking tobacco. This does not appear to have been the case for any of the vapers. We hope will be "never smokers" for the rest of their lives.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Now let's take a closer look at the PHE e-cigarette study.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Public Health England Conduct Ground Breaking E-cigarette Study

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The report was conducted and compiled by several academics. These include Professor Anne McNeil from Kings College London and Professor Hajek from The London School of Medicine.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "My reading of the evidence is that smokers who switch to vaping remove almost all the risks smoking poses to their health."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This must be one of the strongest positive statements about e-cigarettes by an academic to date. When discussing the gateway theory of vaping leading to smoking, the report stated:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ‘We strongly suggest that use of the gateway terminology be abandoned. Until it is clear how the theory can be tested in this field.’

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Professor Anne McNeil concluded:

It is fantastic news that this report exists. What we need to see next is how this report will impact upon the Public Health policies of the UK. Will this create a positive change in attitude towards e-cigarettes?

It was 97% lower in those who switched to using just e-cigarettes compared to those who continued to smoke. Those who continued to smoke and also use e-cigarettes saw no difference in the level of NNAL in their body.

The number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is reduced drastically in this group. Health professionals are confident this proves vaping is far safer than smoking cigarettes.

It suggests that there is a very low risk associated with their long-term use. Our results also suggest that while e-cigarettes are not only safer, the amount of nicotine they provide is not noticeably different to conventional cigarettes. This can help people to stop smoking altogether by dealing with their cravings in a safer way."

We continue to wait for the UK government to take a positive position. To actively to encourage smokers to consider vaping. If this and preceding body of academic evidence is not enough, then what is required for the UK government to stop equivocating and confusing the UK smoking population about the risks and benefits of vaping?
