The UK is a leader in tobacco harm reduction and provides a good example for the rest of the world through action. Backed by science, the UK government has chosen a proven fruitful path to tobacco harm reduction. The UK will not only continue to strengthen its support for e-cigarettes, but also encourage other countries to refer to the UK's mature experience.

Although the WHO has been "ignoring" the fact that the UK has reduced the smoking rate to an all-time low through e-cigarettes, this does not hinder the UK's determination to vigorously promote e-cigarettes, not only providing free e-cigarettes for low-income groups, but also encouraging doctors to Patients were prescribed e-cigarettes.

Last October, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) updated its guidance on how to license e-cigarettes as medicinal products, paving the way for those who wish to quit smoking to prescribe vaping products. The guidance states that any approved vaping product will be available to a doctor for a prescription.

Health Minister Sajid Javid once told the media: "Whether it's our Covid-19 vaccine or our innovative public health measures to reduce people's risk of serious illness, the strong promotion of e-cigarettes has once again demonstrated that the UK remains a global leader in healthcare. ."

The British Independent Vaping Trade Association (IBVTA) believes that the positive changes to e-cigarettes in the UK are mainly related to "quality standards for dose uniformity, non-clinical toxicology data requirements and the design of clinical pharmacokinetic studies". The IBVTA hopes that these updates, reflecting changes in the regulatory environment post-Brexit, will make it easier for e-cigarette companies to apply for medical licenses, standards and practices that are difficult to achieve in the EU.

In England, the richest people are living much longer than the poor because of access to harm reduction products, which is a 'moral outrage, and poverty should not limit the help lower-income groups receive in tobacco harm reduction To that end, UK agencies are planning to announce further measures to fundamentally address the discrepancy, which are believed to include an "e-cigarette revolution" that promotes GPs' prescribing of e-cigarettes.
