New risks

The increase in the use of electronic cigarettes (your 
report, 28 April) is alarming.

Yes, “vaping” has advantages over smoking traditional cigarettes, but health campaigners have worked too hard over the past few decades to educate people about the dangers of smoking for something that looks a lot like smoking to be 
normalised.

There is an important message to send young people.
