SUMMARY:Do we need to be concerned about the rise of e-cigarettes? - Dr. M
 ilica Vasiljevic\, Primary Care Unit

DESCRIPTION:Among children\, experimentation with e-cigarettes is now more
  common than experimentation with tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes have th
 e potential for benefit and harm\, the nature and scale of each being unce
 rtain in the absence of much evidence. One potential benefit comes from pr
 oviding a safe delivery mechanism for nicotine and an effective cessation 
 aid. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that e-cigarettes can successfull
 y be used as cessation aids by smokers. Of concern\, however\, is their po
 tential to make attitudes towards tobacco smoking more positive (i.e.\, to
  renormalise it) through\, for example\, marketing of objects that appear 
 very similar to tobacco cigarettes that appeal to both adult and children 
 non-smokers. In my talk I will present a series of experimental studies in
  which we are trying to solve the puzzle of how e-cigarettes may affect to
 bacco smoking in children.
