<p>The Government is committed to helping people to quit smoking by permitting innovative
technologies that minimise the risk of harm, and through maximising the availability
of safer alternatives to smoking. Public Health England continues to provide smokers
and the public with clear, evidence based and accurate information on the relative
harm of nicotine, e-cigarettes, other nicotine delivery systems and smoked tobacco,
to enable informed decision-making. There were over 2.5 million e-cigarettes users
in England in 2017, an increase from 1.6 million in 2014. Over half of those using
e-cigarettes have quit smoking for good. Adult smoking prevalence in England is at
its lowest level on record at 14.9%.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>
