About this episode
What are e-cigarettes ? Thanks for asking! The British government wants to get tough on smoking. On October 20, 2021, MPs submitted to Parliament an amendment to the Health Bill that would allow each cigarette to carry the words "Smoking kills". This is an opportunity to return to the term "e-cigarette". An e-cigarette is a vaporizer that simulates smoking without tobacco consumption. A product like this could therefore help smokers to quit. The use of electronic cigarettes is on the rise, while tobacco sales are dropping. But before we get carried away about wiping out tobacco, we should remember that e-cigarettes are not totally risk-free. How did e-cigarettes come about? What do they contain? Are they dangerous? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is Polexit? What is Generation Alpha? Who is Harlan Coben?
