In 2016 there were 1.7 million e-cigarettes users in Poland, compared to 1.4 million in Britain, and 1.2 million in France, state news agency PAP reported, citing figures presented by experts at a press conference in Warsaw on Monday.

Meanwhile, in the same year the market was worth EUR 569 million in Britain, EUR 347 million in Italy and EUR 330 million in Poland, PAP reported.

Experts at the Warsaw conference, which was entitled "Cigarettes and new tobacco products: what you need to know," said that only long-term studies could show whether e-cigarettes are less harmful than traditional tobacco products.
