New Office for National Statistics estimates put e-cigarette use among British women aged 25 to 34 at 18.3% in 2025, up from 13.7% a year earlier. That figure exceeded the 14.4% rate for men in the same age bracket and was the highest recorded for this female group since the series started in 2014. Overall adult vaping remained slightly more common among men than women, with about 5.4 million adults in Great Britain using e-cigarettes daily or occasionally.
