Abstract
First paragraph: Sir, I am writing in reference to the Potential quitters turn to e-cigarettes Upfront news article1 that was published in a recent issue of the British Dental Journal which seemed to imply that e-cigarettes were undermining smoking cessation attempts. This article was written in reference to a Health and Social Care Information Centre report2 which described the continued fall in the use of the Stop Smoking Services (SSS) and suggested that this 'may be partly' due to increased use of e-cigarettes.
