The Potential of E-Cigarettes to<br />
Reduce TRH<br />
GOOD NEWS<br />
• UK NHS estimates value of a ‘successful quit’ at<br />
£74,000 (US $96,500) based on an average of 1.2 life<br />
years saved and £60,000 (US $78,250) per life year.<br />
• The 836,000 people who had replaced smoking with<br />
vaping by 2015 represent a saving to UK society of at<br />
least £58.9 billion, assuming vaping carries up to 5%<br />
of the risk associated with smoking.<br />
• No PH intervention for smoking cessation can claim<br />
such a reach – 2.2 million current e-cigarette users –<br />
and such success – 836,000 former smokers – in such<br />
a short space of time.
