According to updated research, electronic cigarettes have been proven to effectively help people quit smoking. Cochrane, a non-profit international organization based in the UK consisting of health-focused researchers, states that nicotine-containing e-cigarettes are 95% safer than tobacco cigarettes and can help prevent people from smoking traditional cigarettes.
Electronic cigarettes are said to be more effective than nicotine replacement therapy, such as gum, in replacing the habit of smoking cigarettes. People are reported to be able to quit smoking for at least six months while using electronic cigarettes.
Dr. Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, a professor at the University of Oxford and editor of the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group, has said that there is a public misconception about e-cigarettes. Since becoming widely popularized by the media 10 years ago, it appears to have caused the public to reject e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking. Thanks to numerous studies, including the support of the CEO of the UK Cancer Research Center, Michelle Mitchell, our report states that e-cigarettes can effectively help individuals quit traditional cigarettes.
Nicola Lindson, a research lecturer at the University of Oxford, has stated that electronic cigarettes do not "burn" tobacco and no potential negative or harmful effects on health have been found as part of the process to quit smoking. However, this does not mean that it is risk-free and its use is not recommended for children or teenagers.
Of course, the controversy surrounding electronic cigarettes and their alteration of nicotine and other inhaled chemicals has sparked debate among the public and health officials. Several universities in the United States have recently conducted studies on the topic, including Pennsylvania State University in Hershey, Pennsylvania and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Multiple surveys and research suggest that the long-term effects of using electronic cigarettes on health have yet to be fully understood.
