According to Morgan Stanley, the electronic cigarette has withdrawn this year 1.5 billion cigarettes from the mouths of American smokers.
Thank you the ecig. According to investment bank Morgan Stanley, the consumption of electronic cigarettes in the United States this year would amount to 1.5 billion traditional cigarettes! 

While the U.S. market for e-cigarette still represent only 1% of the volume of competitive sales of tobacco by the Lorillard Tobacco Company, these figures show how the new substitute that nobody saw coming is in the process of dig a growing share in the lives of smokers. A market that is doubling every year.

Being very no math I still risky to do a little math: 

At a rate of 11 minutes of life that removes a cigarette smoker, the 1.5 billion cigarettes not smoked this year represent 16.5 billion minutes saved life or 11,458,333 days respite in addition to our dear vapoteurs overseas. 

A big step for public health attempts to combat the scourge of tobacco for years. 

WHO and the EU welcome such a craze 

The announcement came as an emotional bomb in the World Health Organization, including in the European Union who dreams of seeing these figures apply to his case. Various officials of public health are extremely excited to see that the electronic cigarette happens so fast, to reduce sales of cigarettes and tobacco to raise awareness among smokers than healthier alternatives exist, such as everyone knows a smoker to smoke nicotine but sadly died tar (Michael Russell, 1976). 

Our public health experts are so enthusiastic that the WHO has decided to ban the electronic cigarette its own premises and that the European Union plans to make it ineffective in reducing the rate of nicotine. For their part, the U.S. swim in an administrative mess for what to do with this wonderful object. Despite some differences, everyone agrees to limit access to those who need it most.
