    There’s been a fair amount of controversy regarding e-cigarettes and their health benefits, but now researchers at University College London (UCL) are saying previous warnings are ‘misleading’.

    UCL has worked out that if one million British cigarette smokers switched to e-cigarettes, over 6 000 “premature deaths could be prevented” each year.

    However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that non-smokers can still inhale significant toxins from e-cigarettes, and this could lead to smoking.

    According to UCL, the toxins in e-cigarettes are actually very low, and there are certainly still more toxins and carcinogens in real cigarettes.

    “In fact, toxin concentrations are almost all well below one twentieth that of cigarette smoke.”

    An independent study on e-cigarettes has been done by King’s College London, with the findings being that e-cigarettes are still very new to the market and thus long-term health impacts can’t yet be assessed.

    WHO has called for an international ban on smoking e-cigarettes indoors.
