      abstract = {This open access book offers the first in-depth study of  the history and current debates surrounding electronic  cigarettes comparing the UK, US and Australia. Since their  introduction, e-cigarettes have been the subject of much  public, media and regulatory attention, with discussion  centring on whether these devices encourage or discourage  smoking. This study delves into the history of policymaking  and institutions in three countries which have taken  different approaches to the regulation of e-cigarettes. In  the UK, the tradition of harm reduction through nicotine  has helped form a response which has endorsed e-cigarettes,  though not without considerable controversy. In contrast,  the US has a cessation-only anti-tobacco agenda, and  Australia has effectively banned e-cigarettes. This book  argues that each country frames the long-term use of  nicotine differently and prioritises the health of  different groups within the population of smokers or  non-smokers, set against a broad backdrop of national  responses to addiction. By taking this comparative  approach, the authors explore the relationship between  history, evidence and policy in public health more widely.
