'''<span></span>'''"[https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2018-news/stoptober-firefighters-urge-smokers-to-vape-to-prevent-fires/ In London, smoking is the number one cause of fatal fires and one of the top three causes of all accidental fires in the home]. Such is the concern about smoking related fires that fire chiefs are now urging smokers to take up vaping to reduce the risk. Our message is simple: quit smoking or risk dying in a fire. Firstly, we would urge you to stop smoking completely but fully appreciate that this is your decision. If you still need that nicotine fix, vaping is a much safer alternative. Hundreds of people are injured in smoking related fires each year but we’ve not had any reports of injuries or deaths caused by e-cigarettes."

Health Service Executive Ireland
“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)
