About the market:

With tens of millions consumers the global e-cigarette market is growing rapidly and e-cigarettes and e-liquids are an important FMCG article for most of the retailers.

The UK government's health authorities endorsed e-cigarette products as being 97% less harmful than tobacco.

"The growing use of electronic cigarettes as a substitute for tobacco smoking has been a topic of great controversy, with much speculation over their potential risks and benefits. Our latest 2017 report lays to rest almost all of the concerns over these products, and concludes that, with sensible regulation, electronic cigarettes have the potential to make a major contribution towards preventing the premature death, disease and social inequalities in health that smoking currently causes in the UK."
