“…However, current smokers had almost three times the odds of noncurrent smokers to use e-cigarettes. Combined, these findings support the premise that there is insufficient evidence that e-cigarettes are being used as a substitute for conventional tobacco (Cressey, 2014;Dautzenberg et al, 2013;Dutra & Glantz, 2014;Lee et al, 2014).…”

“…There are also two further cultural disruptors that have significant implications for both the maintenance of normative prohibition and for the normalisation proposition as previously developed. First is the explosion of the virtual market place of the internet as a source of drugs -hard to police and relatively easy to use (EMCDDA, 2015); and second, the new technology of e-cigarettes and techniques of vaping, the subject of heated debate as to whether this is normalising smoking and may serve as a gateway to use of other smokable drugs, or whether it is a public health breakthrough in assisting smoking cessation (Cressy, 2014;Drummond & Upson, 2014;Triggle, 2014). What is of interest for the normalisation debate is the smart advertising, design and market segmentation underpinning the new vaping market, creating a new clientele for a new, previously nonexistent product and means of using and inhaling a substance.…”

Aims: Describes how the relative normalisation of recreational drug use in the UK has been productive of, and fused with, the relatively normalised and non-commercial social supply of recreational drugs. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 60 social suppliers of recreational drugs in two studies (involving a student population n ¼ 30 and general population sample n ¼ 30). Respondents were recruited via purposive snowball sampling and local advertising. Findings: Both samples provided strong evidence of the normalised supply of recreational drugs in micro-sites of friendship and close social networks. Many social suppliers described ''drift'' into social supply and normalised use was suggested to be productive of supply relationships that both suppliers and consumers regard as something less than ''real'' dealing in order to reinforce their preconceptions of themselves as relatively non-deviant. Some evidence for a broader acceptance of social supply is also presented. Conclusions: The fairly recent context of relative normalisation of recreational drug use has coalesced with the social supply of recreational drugs in micro-sites of use and exchange whereby a range of ''social'' supply acts (sometimes even involving large amounts of drugs/money) have become accepted as something closer to gift-giving or friendship exchange dynamics within social networks rather than dealing proper. To some degree, there is increasing sensitivity to this within the criminal justice system.

“…The health effects of the vapor and the danger of nicotine overdose by ingestion or dermal contact with the juice are the subject of ongoing review by various agencies (Cressey, 2014, World Health Organization (WHO), 2014. The regulatory situation related to e-cigarettes varies by jurisdiction and is rapidly changing.…”
