“The UK government has rapidly released its advice on vaping during the COVID-19 pandemic, just four months after the first confirmed case of COVID-19 and 10 weeks after the national lockdown commenced. The position remains unchanged that vaping is preferable to smoking to reduce potential harm despite the nonsensical closure of vape shops.
The government states: “E-cigarettes (vapes) can be an effective aid to stopping smoking and staying smokefree. The evidence on the health risks of e-cigarettes is still developing. However, it is clear that vaping is far less harmful to the respiratory system than smoking. There is very little evidence on vaping and COVID-19 and it is unknown whether vaping makes you more susceptible to severe disease if you become infected. If it does, the risk is likely to be much less than if you smoke. Vaping remains much less harmful than smoking for most people and it is very important that you avoid returning to smoking.”
