New Consumer Report, December 6th, according to BBC reports, new data shows that the number of smokers in the UK fell to the lowest level last year, but more people used electronic cigarettes.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom, about 13.3% of people over 18 or over 18 years old smoke in 2021, less than 14.0% in 2020.

But among the 16 -year -old people, 7.7% said they used electronic cigarettes -and the proportion of 2020 was 6.4%.

The first record of the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom was that in 2011, 20.2% of people smoked.

The National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom stated that the latest data is a statistical decline.

James Tucker's data and analysis of the social care and health department of the National Bureau of Statistics said that some reasons for the decrease in the number of smokers may be that more people turn to electronic cigarettes.

He said: This is the lowest proportion of smokers since 2011. At that time, we began to record smoking rates through the annual population survey (APS).

The National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom stated that electronic cigarettes and other equipment played an important role in reducing the number of British smokers.

It added that the use of electronic cigarettes is the highest among the current smokers, 25.3%, and 15.0%of the smokers. Only 1.5%of those who never smoke indicate that they currently use electronic cigarettes.

But it adds that electronic cigarettes may not be the only factor in the decline in the number of smokers.

This may also be due to smoking -free places such as improving public awareness movements and bars and offices.

The government's tobacco control plan aims to reduce the smoking rate of adults in England to 12% or lower by the end of 2022.

The British Statistics Administration added that the largest British country in 2021 is Scotland, 14.8%, and the lowest is England, 13.0%.

Other places, Wales and Northern Ireland reported 14.1% and 13.8% of the current smokers.

By 2021, men are more likely to become current smokers. In the UK, men's smoking rates are 15.1%, while women are 11.5%.

At present, the largest number of smokers is the age of 25 to 34, 15.8%, and the lowest is 65 and above, 8%

The National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom said that people without education are now more likely to smoke at 28.2%, while the highest education level is 6.6%of the degree or equivalent education.

The NHS website said that although electronic cigarettes are not without risks, their risks are lower than cigarettes. However, the long -term impact of electronic cigarettes is unclear.

It is illegal to sell electronic cigarettes under the age of 18.
