LONDON - E-cigarette or vaping-linked lung injuries that have killed 29 and sickened more than 1,000 people in the United States are likely to be rare in Britain and other countries where the suspect products are not widely used, specialists said on Monday.
“What’s happening in the U.S. is not happening here , nor is it happening in any other countries where vaping is common,” said John Britton, a professor and respiratory medicine consultant and director of the UK Centre for Tobacco & Alcohol Studies at Nottingham University.U.S. investigators and health officials have said there may be more than one cause for the cases of vaping lung illness.
This is partly due to tobacco smokers switching to nicotine-containing e-cigarettes to help them quit, they said.
