英国国家统计局最新数据显示，2025年英国从不吸烟但使用电子烟的成年人达110万，占成年人口的2.9%，较2021年的1.5%几乎翻倍1。这一增长趋势在过去一年尤为明显，使用电子烟的从不吸烟人群从2024年的94万增至110万1。与此同时，英国整体电子烟使用人数达540万，占成年人口的9.9%1。
在电子烟使用率上升的同时，传统烟草消费创下历史新低。截至2025年，英国成年人吸烟率仅为9.8%，低于2024年的10.6%1。英国国家统计局官员David Mais指出："不足十分之一的成年人现在吸烟，这是有记录以来的最低比例"1。年龄分布上存在显著差异，18至24岁人群的吸烟率从2011年的25.7%大幅下降至2025年的7.2%1；而25至34岁年龄段的电子烟使用率最高，从2024年的12.9%上升至2025年的16.4%1。此外，男性吸烟率（11.3%）明显高于女性（8.2%）1。
伦敦都市大学副教授Justin Webb表示，电子烟可帮助成年人戒烟，但它们并非完全无风险，其长期影响仍不明确1。
The number of people in Great Britain who vape but have never smoked has nearly doubled over the past four years, according to new data from the UK's Office for National Statistics released on January 7, 2025.1 Among 1.1 million never-smokers now using e-cigarettes, representing 2.9 percent of the adult population, this figure has grown from 1.5 percent in 2021.1 The proportion of never-smokers using vapes increased from 940,000 in 2024 to 1.1 million in 2025.1
Overall vaping in Great Britain continues to expand, with 5.4 million adults—or 9.9 percent of the adult population—now using e-cigarettes.1 Meanwhile, traditional smoking has reached a historic low, with only 9.8 percent of adults now smoking, compared to 10.6 percent in 2024.1 The decline is particularly pronounced among younger adults: smoking rates among those aged 18 to 24 have dropped from 25.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2 percent in 2025.1 Usage patterns vary by age group, with those aged 25 to 34 showing the highest vaping prevalence at 16.4 percent in 2025, up from 12.9 percent the previous year.1 Men continue to smoke at higher rates than women, with 11.3 percent of male adults and 8.2 percent of female adults smoking.1
Justin Webb, an associate lecturer at London Metropolitan University, acknowledged that "vapes can help adults stop smoking, but they are not risk-free and their full long-term effects remain unclear."1 David Mais, an official at the Office for National Statistics, noted that "fewer than one in 10 adults now smoke. This is the lowest proportion on record."1
