How Outside Information Affects E-cigarette Wholesale?Researchers from Imperial College London examined the use of electronic cigarettes across the European Union between 2012 and 2014 and found that, on average, the percentage of people who have tried vaping has increased from 7.2 percent to 11.6 percent. At the same time, the number of people who believe electronic cigarettes are hazardous and addictive has also risen significantly.

The study, published in the Tobacco Control journal, used data from 53,000 adults aged 15 and older,  from 27 regions of Europe. Over the two year period, they were asked to answer questions regarding e-cigarette use, including reasons for use, awareness of consequences in health and current tobacco use. By-country results varied significantly, with France registering the highest increase in e-cig use, from 7.3 percent in 2012, to  21.3 percent in 2014.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Portugal had the lowest e-cig use frequency, with just 5.7 percent of people using them in 2014. Germany, Italy and Spain also ranked very low in their citizen’s willingness to try electronic cigarettes, which is not very surprising, considering that the two Latin countries have become very hostile to vaping in recent years. Both Italy and Spain used to be thriving e-cigarette markets until Government clamped down and virtually pulverized small businesses.

In the UK, the proportion of adults who have tried an e-cigarette has increased from 8.9 per cent to 15.5 per cent between 2012 and 2014.The average increase in e-cig use across the European Union can definitely be considered as a positive sign, although it doesn’t take a genius to predict that the draconian provisions of the newly implemented EU Tobacco Directive will reverse the growing trend moving forward. But the research from Imperial College London also yielded some very disturbing findings:

For example, in 2012, 27 percent (one in four) of EU citizens thought e-cigs were toxic, but in 2014 that figure had risen to an alarming average of 51.5 percent. In the
