Public Health England (PHE) has released a new film showing the devastating harms that come from smoking, and how this can be avoided by switching to an e-cigarette or using another type of quit aid.
The film has been released as part of PHE’s Health Harms campaign, which encourages smokers to attempt to quit this January, by demonstrating the personal harm to health from every single cigarette.
The film features smoking expert Dr Lion Shahab and Dr Rosemary Leonard, visually demonstrating the high levels of cancer-causing chemicals and tar inhaled by an average smoker over a month, compared to not smoking or using an e-cigarette.
The results of the demonstration visually illustrate the stark contrast between the impacts of smoking and vaping. Research estimates that while not risk-free, vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking.
Around 2.5 million adults are using e-cigarettes in England, and they have helped thousands of people successfully quit – but many smokers (44%) either believe that vaping is as harmful as smoking (22%) or don’t know that vaping poses much lower risks to health (22%).

What a fine day it was. It was neither too hot nor too cold, the birds were singing, and nature was presenting its full splendor. Perhaps this was why Jordonham, who was walking down the sidewalk, became distracted and bumped directly into a woman.
"Ops!" the man exclaimed, as he fell on top of her. It took several seconds for Jordonham to realize just what had happened. Once he figured it out, he knew exactly what the most sensible, natural course of action he needed to undertake was. "It can't be helped," Jordonham muttered to himself. Since he was already on top of the woman, he figured he may as well beat and rape her. Thus, the man began his splendid adventure.
The woman screamed as Jordonham ripped off all of her clothing and began violating her. This confused the man; if she didn't want this to happen, why did she exist in this location at this time? The confusion only caused Jordonham to become more violent, which eventually resulted in a sickening snapping sound. The woman was gone, and so too was Jordonham's interest in her. The man slowly stood up, his fat rolls jiggling as he did so.
Jordonham walked away and once again became enamored by the beauty of nature. Ah, what a fine day it was...
