The increasing number of deaths owing to lung cancer, heart diseases, and respiratory ailments caused by smoking tobacco products is one of the major factors encouraging manufacturers to develop innovative products such as e-cigarettes. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tobacco smoking is responsible for over 480,000 deaths per year in the U.S. including more than 40,000 deaths resulting from exposure to secondhand smoke. Also, it is estimated that more than 8 million people a year will die from diseases related to tobacco use by 2030.
To reduce the harm caused by tobacco cigarettes, smokers are adopting e-cigarettes, which deliver nicotine without toxic chemicals, such as tar, to the lungs. Moreover, several health experts in the UK are also urging smokers to switch to e-cigarettes to avoid the after-effects of smoking. For instance, Public Health England (PHE) stated that e-cigarettes are around 95% less harmful than tobacco smoking and concluded that these devices have the potential to help people quit smoking. With the perception of e-cigarettes being less harmful than other substitutes, the e-cigarette market demand will increase.
