It's World Cancer Day 2025.
Smoking continues to be the biggest cause of cancer in the UK, causing 15% of all cancers, and is responsible for 72% of all lung cancers. As Macmillan Cancer Support put it, 'Giving up smoking is the single most important thing you can do for your health'.
Meanwhile, research continues to indicate that switching to va**ng substantially reduces exposure to cancer-causing toxins. Public Health England's landmark report found that va**ng is 95% less harmful than smoking. This has been backed up by recent reviews from UK experts, who concluded that '"in the short and medium-term, va**ng poses a small fraction of the risks of smoking".
Switching to va**ng continues to be a successful alternative when quitting, with the NHS reporting that you are twice as likely to quit smoking if you use a ni****ne v**e compared to other ni****ne replacement products like patches or gum.
