In Britain today there are about 10 million adults smoking with the average
male smoking 14 a day and women 13. Since the commercialisation of
cigarettes in 1865 this multi-billion pound industry has become the biggest
cause of death in the UK. Statistics show that two thirds of smokers start
before the age of 18.....
Young people who have three or more friends that smoke are ten times more
likely to smoke so how much of an effect does peer pressure have on taking up
smoking?...
Smoking can have a huge impact on your health, with implications ranging
from asthma to cancer.
Since 1974 smoking rates have more than halved with 29% less men smoking
and 24% less women. About two thirds of current smokers would like to quit,
but only 30-40% make a quit attempt in a given year.
The law banning the use of cigarettes in public places was introduced in 2007,
it is often argued that this has led to a decrease in the amount of people
smoking...
The introduction of this law may have triggered the rise in popularity of E-
Cigarettes being used in public places and as an alternative to smoking
cigarettes. This has led to the availabilty of ecigs increasing...
So just how safe are e-cigs? Are the users aware the health implications they
MAY pose?
