The study titled "Association between e-cigarette use and smoking cessation in adult smokers who had never planned to quit" was published in the monthly medical journal Jama Network Open, which is published by the American Medical Association. The research team extracted data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study to analyze whether the use of e-cigarettes is associated with smoking cessation in smokers who did not originally plan to quit. Participants in the study were tracked from 2014 to 2019.
A team collected a total of 2489 observations from 1600 smokers without a smoking cessation plan. They compared the quit rates of those who used electronic cigarettes to those who did not and found that approximately 6% of participants quit smoking during the study, while an additional 4.5% reduced their daily smoking to less than one cigarette.
A recent study highlights that smokers who frequently use e-cigarettes are eight times more likely to quit smoking completely and nearly 10 times more likely to quit on a daily basis. However, there was no observed correlation between quitting smoking and occasional use of e-cigarettes. Based on these findings, researchers concluded that only frequent use of e-cigarette products can encourage quitting smoking.
