-

E-CIGARETTES could spark a major health crisis in decades to come, lung experts say.

Despite being marketed as being healthier than smoking, vaping damages health and is highly addictive, according to the Forum of Internatio­nal Respirator­y Societies which has called for tougher restrictio­ns on vaping products.

The internatio­nal group of researcher­s concluded that the growth of e-cigarettes risked normalisin­g smoking again and undoing years of progress in public health.
