*Fewer than 1% of never smokers are current vapers (amounting to 4.9% of vapers). | |||
*As in previous years the main reason given by ex-smokers for vaping is to help them quit (36%) then to prevent relapse (20%). | |||
*The main reason given by current smokers for vaping is to cut down (26%) then to help them quit (17%) and to prevent relapse (14%). | |||
