They are the go-to device for anyone trying to quit smoking - or seeking a lesser evil than cigarettes.
But e-cigarettes could trigger problem drinking, a new study has warned.
People who use the devices are significantly more likely to consume more alcohol than those who don't use them, researchers claim.
Moreover, those using e-cigarettes and alcohol together report drinking more. Usually, when people quit smoking they also quit drinking, the researchers said. Therefore, those who use e-cigarettes to quit smoking may miss out on this added benefit of quitting, they said.
The researchers concluded by urging people not to ignore the 'knock on' effects of e-cigarette use.
Not even Dick Puddlecote or Christopher Snowdon in their bitterest full-on satire mode could have dreamed up this level of bullshit.
