Vaping can be bad for your health.

Traditional tobacco smokers remain most at risk, with double the chances of developing an eye condition known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) whilst research indicates that smoke from e-cigarettes can cause eye irritation such as dry eye.

Specsavers are supporting ‘No Smoking Day’ this week, Wednesday March 9.

Their clinical spokesperson, Dr Nigel Best says: “AMD affects around 600,000 people in the UK alone and smokers are more likely to suffer from this eye condition than non-smokers. The condition is most common in people over the age of 50 but smoking increases the risk of contracting it earlier.’
