Perché il Regno Unito è uno “spazio verde” per le sigarette elettroniche?

Compared with the United States’ stricter plant control policy, the British policy is too loose.

In 2018, the United Kingdom began to allow the sale of e-cigarettes in hospitals and provide patients with e-cigarette lounges to encourage smokers to switch from traditional plant to e-cigarettes and eventually quit smoking.

According to a recent public health report (PHE) published in England, at least 1.3 million people have completely quit cigarettes because of e-cigarettes as British officials continue to support the reduction of plant harm through e-cigarettes.

In the United Kingdom, e-cigarettes exist as medicines, which predestined that it will take a completely different path from other countries from the beginning, but it is not only due to the perspective of those in power that they have such a clear understanding. The complex social system and policy positioning behind this also deserve our careful consideration.
