2. Standard Life bans electric cigarettes
One of the biggest companies in
Britain, Standard Life, bans electric
cigarettes from being smoked in the
office saying it goes against their
strict no smoking policies.
Top financial firm Standard Life who
employ 9,000 people in Edinburgh
believes that vaping is still smoking
even though e cigarettes don't
contain any tobacco.

3. E cigarettes are as dangerous as a cup of coffee
E-cigs possess similar risks as drinking a
mug of coffee mainly because they
contain nicotine which is actually a
stimulant. Electric cigarettes function by
an atomizer heating up the liquid inside
generally known as e juice which in turn
vaporises. E juice does not have any
tobacco as such though nicotine which is
an alkaloid found in nightshade
plants, does have traces of tobacco. This
is different to the tobacco found in
tobacco plants and doesn't contain any
of the carcinogens found in cigarettes.

4. E cigarettes are a healthier
alternative
Electric cigarettes certainly are a much more
healthy replacement for cigarette smoking they
do not contain the cancer causing carcinogens
that cigarettes contain. They do contain nicotine
though that is addictive nevertheless this will
assist smokers make the switch.
For twenty years, Standard Life has been a non-
smoking organisation and they even has an
occupational health division that helps employees
stop smoking cigarettes. They feel that permitting
workers to smoke electric cigarettes may
undermine their non-smoking policy and as a
consequence have prohibited ecigs at the office.

5. A-listers smoke electric cigarettes
Electric cigarettes have become popular with many
celebrities including Kate Moss and Britney Spears. E
cigarettes are quickly replacing tobacco cigarettes
with one e cig manufacture alone boasting over
20,000 sales in Scotland alone. Much of this is
caused by the health benefits but the price is a key
factor with an e cig working out significantly cheaper.
E-cigarette starter kits can be bought from around
£25 and generally come with a standard
rechargeable lithium ion battery and a pack of refills.
Disposable electric cigarettes are available for
considerably less if you're simply looking to test one.

6. Will Standard Life set a precedent?
As yet, Standard Life is the only large corporation in
Britain to publicly announce they have prohibited
electric cigarettes in their workplace. The vast majority
of organisations allow electric cigarettes to be used at
the office including Scottish Widow's and Lloyd's.
The chairman of the Royal College of Physicians
Tobacco Advisory Group, Professor John Britton
believes e cigs have the potential to save millions of
lives around the world and also encourages their
introduction. Also the government “nudge unit”
encourages e-cigs because they feel that e cigs may
potentially save thousands of lives as they are a much
healthier alternative.

7. Change to the healthier alternative
Potentially e cigs could save millions of lives if
tobacco smokers changed. This is the concept of
the ‘nudge unit’ set up by the Conservative party
and the banning of them at financial
firm, Standard Life, could potentially damage this
because it could set a precedent.
Sadly most don't realize the main advantages of
electric cigarettes and the reasons why they are a
far healthier replacement for normal cigarettes
and do not give off any dangerous chemicals and
second hand smoke.
Switch to electric cigarettes, a far healthier
alternative to cigarettes.
