This open access book offers the first in-depth study of the
history and current debates surrounding electronic cigarettes
comparing the UK, US and Australia. Since their introduction,
e-cigarettes have been the subject of much public, media and
regulatory attention, with discussion centring on whether these
devices encourage or discourage smoking. This study delves into the
history of policymaking and institutions in three countries which
have taken different approaches to the regulation of e-cigarettes.
In the UK, the tradition of harm reduction through nicotine has
helped form a response which has endorsed e-cigarettes, though not
without considerable controversy. In contrast, the US has a
cessation-only anti-tobacco agenda, and Australia has effectively
banned e-cigarettes. This book argues that each country frames the
long-term use of nicotine differently and prioritises the health of
different groups within the population of smokers or non-smokers,
set against a broad backdrop of national responses to addiction. By
taking this comparative approach, the authors explore the
relationship between history, evidence and policy in public health
more widely.
