Should taxpayers fund e-cigarettes for smokers?
The Daily Express says E-CIGARETTES, known as “vapes”, could be prescribed by doctors to help smokers quit their addiction. Express.co.uk wants to know whether you think NHS funding should be pumped into an e-cigarette scheme. Vote in our poll.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued guidance stating that e-cigarette manufacturers can now submit products to go through the same regulatory approvals as other medicines. Currently, e-cigarettes are a legal consumer good sold in the UK to anyone over 18, but the MHRA’s approval of e-cigarette as medicine could make way for a new NHS scheme which would see England becoming the first country in the world to prescribe e-cigarettes to smokers.
