in The Lancet Public Health journal, there has been a sharp rise in the proportion of adults who have never regularly smoked but now use e-cigarettes, increasing from one in 200 (about 133,000 people) to one in 28 (1,006,000 people).<\/p>\n<p>The Office for National Statistics supports these findings, showing that approximately 5.1 million people in Britain, which accounts for about 10% of the population aged 16 or over, are now using e-cigarettes, with the highest rates found among those aged 16 to 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text

year we see thousands of smokers and thousands of vapers who we help to freedom with our drug free one day seminar.<\/p>\n<p>The increasing number of people addicted to only vaping over the last ten years is of significant concern particularly the growth in number of young people.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been warning for years that non-smokers especially young people will get drawn into nicotine addiction as a result of lack of regulation and so<\/p>\n<p>Vaping is often thought of as less harmful than smoking but young people and non-smokers, due to marketing and mixed messaging, often think it is harmless.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, there are mental and physical effects of vaping that anyone considering vaping needs to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Nicotine is highly addictive and studies show that vaping affects young people\u2019s brain and lung development in devastating ways.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of policy and taxation, more needs to be done to educate people especially young people that vaping is not harmless as well as regulate access to all vapes, regulating the way they are marketed and helping all smokers and vapers that have fallen into the nicotine trap to find freedom.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we have created a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/teen-vaping\/\">new mini-site to help young people<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Vaping provides a proven, effective, easy solution to getting free from cigarettes without the need to switch to vaping and remaining a nicotine addict.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/authors\/john-dicey\/\">John
