We’ve seen promotions, petitions and all sorts of campaigns about e-cigarette, yet its health effect remains to be controversial. One thing that is never missed in the debate is whether e-cigars could truly\u00a0lead to a smoking-free community.<\/h2>\n

The use of e-cigarettes, or vapes, might no longer be a rare sighting in the UK now. In fact, according to the Office for National Statistics<\/a>, four per cent of the Great Britain’s population were using vapes in 2014, while 53 per cent of the smokers were using them as an aid to quit smoking. But the addiction might be more than strictly physical but mental\u00a0as well. InterCardiff hopped over to the streets of Cardiff, and asked if pedestrians think using vape\u00a0is an effective mean for smokers to quit the habit.<\/p>\n
