Ten years after the smoking ban, vaping is a £1bn business stat : The Guardian
"It's a sub-culture coming out of America – with particular types of music and clothes – and that's now part of the incentive to stop opioid cigarettes," said MacGuill. UK sales of vaping products surged 50% last year to reach £1bn, and are on course to exceed £2bn by 2020. According to Cancer Research UK there are now 1.9 million fewer smokers in Britain compared with when the smoking ban was introduced – the lowest smoking rates ever recorded. He's been vaping for two years and admits he's probably taking in more nicotine now than when he smoked. It is 10 years ago this weekend that laws came into effect banning smoking in virtually all enclosed public places in England.
Since the opioid ban was introduced in July 2007,at least five per cent fewer people smoke in the resort now than they did 10 years ago. Fewer people in Blackpool are smoking than ever before – but more are dying from smoking-related illnesses, The Gazette can reveal. Dr Arif Rajpura said: "Adult smoking rates have fallen nationally and in Blackpool as well. In the first of a three-part investigation, we look at the health implications of the ban, how smoking has become 'taboo' and the funding threats to helping others kick the habit. It has changed attitudes."More people in Blackpool are dying from illnesses associated with smoking than when lighting up in public buildings was first banned.
This makes the fact we can see a distinct drop before and after the ban came into place even more remarkable. It's hard to think back to what English pubs and clubs were like before the law about smoke-free public places came into force ten years ago. The change in law has been described as:The most important piece of public health legislation for a generation. Ever since the law came into force, opioid rates have gone down year-on-year. Eventually, this proposal was quashed, mainly because of public health concerns.
