Research Shows Almost 20% Success in Quitting Smoking in 2017

A University College London reports shows that nearly 20% of those who tried to quit smoking in the first half of 2017 were successful. This is a record high and the success is in part attributed to the use of e cigarettes.  This figure is up from the 15.7% average over the past decade.  This success may be part of the reasons why Public Health England is preparing to launch new TV ads to encourage people to try e cigarettes if they have been struggling to quit smoking.
