Almost 900,000 people used e-cigarettes to try and kick the habit in 2014, estimates suggest.
A new study has found that 891,000 smokers used an e-cigarette, and not a prescription medicine or behavioural support, in a bid to quit.
Researchers from University College London said 37.3% of the 8.46 million adult smokers in England tried to give up in 2014. Of these, 28.2% used an electronic cigarette to assist them.
