A final year student at Manchester Metropolitan University has set up a campaign calling for e-cigarettes to be prescribed by the NHS.<\/p>\n

Farhad Hussain, 21, who works at an e-cigarettes shop, he said: \u201cLots <\/a>of deaths are caused by smoking and e-cigs are 95% safer than cigarettes.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 48.8% of e-cig users reported using e-cigs to help them quit smoking in 2017.<\/p>\n

Farhad said: \u201cLifestyle and body image improves when e-cigs are used as an alternative to smoking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people quit smoking, taste buds open up and food tastes better. Their teeth and fingernails are no longer yellow.\u201d<\/p>\n

0.5 = Novelty
\n\t\t48.8 = Aid to stop smoking
\n\t\t1.8 = Range of different flavours available
\n\t\t5.3 = Other reasons
\n\t\t29.2 = Perception that they are less harmful than cigarettes
\n\t\t7.0 = Can be used indoors
\n\t\t7.5 = Cheaper than tobacco products

Farhad said: \u201cE-<\/span>cigs<\/span><\/a> should be prescribed on the NHS because they are a safer alternative to cigarettes filled with harmful <\/span>chemicals<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the ONS, 77,900 deaths were caused by smoking in 2016. This is a 2% reduction on the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sian Lambert, from the Greater Manchester health and Social Care Partnership, which is part of NHS England, said: \u201cMedicines and other treatments that are given on prescription in the UK are regulated through the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On prescribing e-cigarettes through the NHS, Sian said: \u201cFor e-cigarettes to be provided on prescription through the NHS an e-cigarette manufacturer would need to apply to licence their product as a medication.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently there are no e-cigarettes which have been licensed but the MHRA has produced guidance for the licensing of e-cigarettes as medicines so this may change in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sian highlighted a pilot scheme in Salford that gives hope to smokers who want to quit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSmokers in deprived areas provided with free e-cigarettes alongside support to help them quit. It is possible that this type of offer will be available in other areas of Greater Manchester in the future,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
