A committee of British lawmakers is urging the government to loosen restrictions on e-cigarettes as a way of cutting the smoking rate.
Parliament’s Science and technology Committee said Friday that e-cigarettes, or vapes, should be available on prescription and should not automatically be banned in public places. It also says the industry should be able to advertise the devices as a less harmful option for smokers.
Committee chairman Norman Lewis says e-cigarettes can be “a key weapon” in the fight against smoking.
Some medical experts caution that the risks from e-cigarettes are not fully understood. University of Birmingham professor David Thickett led research suggesting e-cigarettes may damage the immune system, and says the public “must be aware that these devices are not harmless.”
The government says it will consider the committee’s recommendations.
