| | *Reasons for using the e‐cigarette included the perception that it was less toxic than tobacco (84%), to deal with craving for tobacco (79%) and withdrawal symptoms (67%), to quit smoking or avoid relapsing (77%), because it was cheaper than smoking (57%) and to deal with situations where smoking was prohibited (39%). |
| | *Most ex‐smokers (79%) feared they might relapse to smoking if they stopped using the e‐cigarette. |
