SMOKING VERSUS VAPING

“The potential damage this deadly cocktail can cause is vast”

Often believed to be a modern-day vice, smoking and chewing tobacco leaves have been habits humans have had for thousands of years. It wasn’t until the early 1500s that tobacco cultivation reached Europe, after Christopher Columbus discovered Native Americans smoking dried tobacco leaves. By the 1700s smoking became widespread, resulting in the rise of the tobacco industry. Although it’s been on a steady decline in recent years, in 2018 it was found that around 7.2 million people aged 18 and over smoked in the UK alone.
