30 Data from the GUIDE Clinic In Summer 2014, the TFRI collected data from a sample of 423 people living with HIV and AIDS who attend the GUIDE clinic. 81.5% of service users had heard of e-cigarettes. Of those who were aware of e-cigarettes, 5.1% (15) used e-cigarettes on a daily basis. An additional 3.3% (10) used e-cigarettes at least once a month.

31 TFRI Current Research Projects Qualitative research on Ecigs and RYO in young adults Is Allen Carr s Easyway to Stop Smoking Programme superior to Smoking Cessation services.

32 Ecigs research Positive: May be as good as NRT for quitting Maybe nearly as safe as NRT but inhalation of particles May be a tool for harm reduction May be less frequently addictive than cigarettes Negative: Renormalise smoking weakening smokefree Perpetuates addiction to nicotine May be a Gateway drug Addictive Ownership by TI Threatens advertising bans Threatens use of price as most potent TC intervention

33 Ecigs -Further considerations Are they a disruptive technology? Are they divisive in TC? Are they bringing PHE and RCP into disrepute? Are they a major threat to FCTC? Article 5.3 Article 6 Article 8 Article 13 Article 14
