E-cigarettes are attracting non-smokers to nicotine, EU warns

"Vaping" with e-liquid containing nicotine is just as addictive as smoking traditional cigarettes and may lead non-smokers to try out other tobacco products. A precious aid to many smokers in their efforts to quit, e-cigarettes are nonetheless likely to attract non-smokers and lead to higher rates of nicotine addiction, cautions the European Commission in its "E-cigarettes Myth Buster" report. Electronic cigarettes encourage smoking behaviors, the EU's governing body observes, citing recent studies suggesting that "e-cigarettes are increasingly used by non-smokers and young people." And users become more likely to try out traditional tobacco products once they have tried out smoking behaviors and experienced a nicotine buzz through vaping.
