| “[https://www.medicalindependent.ie/to-vape-or-not-to-vape/ The HSE cannot recommend e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid], as they are not currently regulated or approved in Ireland for that purpose. However, for those unable or unwilling to stop using nicotine, using e-cigarettes (also known as ‘vaping’) is generally regarded as less harmful than smoking tobacco. We recommend that smokers trying to quit smoking by using e-cigarettes do so in combination with approved supports." (Note: This is from a news article, not from an official policy statement)

| "[http://www.2macs.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/E-cigarettes-in-the-workplace-Occupational-Health-and-Wellbeing-Guide.pdf The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)] also caution against workplace bans on
| |
| e-cigarettes. HSE’s advice is that “an employer needs to consider e-cigarettes in the wider context of risk in the workplace. We are aware that some organisations have banned their use, but this is not something HSE has advised on.”
