Just for interest, I worked out how many ex-smoking vapers and ex-smoking ex-vapers there are in England from the recent ONS survey - and then compared those with the number of ecig quit attempts from the STS survey

The ASH survey found 4.8m ecig quitters in Great Britain - England is ~85% of GB population-wise. 85% of 4.8m = 4.08m😀

Number of vapers up in Q3 (STS-England) Number of smoking quit attempts using vapes down
2Firsts Data | China’s vape-related exports rose 4.5% year-on-year in Q3 2026, supported by a 21.6% increase in shipments to the UK despite declining exports to the U.S. 2Firsts Data analysis of China Customs statistics reveals diverging trends in two major export markets, with UK growth helping offset weaker U.S. demand. #2FirstsData #ChinaExports #Vaping #UKMarket #USMarket #ChinaCustoms #GlobalTrade #VapeIndustry #2Firsts 2firsts.com/news/chinas-vape…

Yes😀
It’s almost if the restrictive laws are the point of “tobacco control”, not the public health outcomes and certainly not the distraction of unintended consequences, which are the main consequences.

Worth noting the STS showed 1m never regularly smoking vapers in 2024 (in England only)

Trying to work out the ASH numbers is not that easy because of their roundings. Current best effort😀
