According to a report from the Austrian News Agency on January 10th, a study conducted at the University of Massachusetts Amherst suggests that e-cigarettes are more effective as smoking cessation aids compared to nicotine gum and other auxiliary tools.
The study, led by Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, advocates for the recognition of e-cigarettes as a viable cessation tool in the United States.
Hartmann-Boyle argues that, unlike in the UK, e-cigarettes should be regarded as an effective tool for smoking cessation in the United States. Smoking has become a major preventable health issue worldwide. He emphasizes that many American smokers wish to quit, and e-cigarettes can serve as an evidence-based option for them.
A research team evaluated 88 studies involving over 27,235 participants from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy. The results indicate a higher success rate in quitting smoking through the use of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes work by heating e-liquid, which contains nicotine and flavorings, allowing users to inhale nicotine while avoiding the harmful chemicals produced by traditional cigarettes.
According to a study, at least 80% of people who want to quit smoking have successfully done so with the help of e-cigarettes, compared to a success rate of only 60% for those using traditional cessation tools and 40% for those attempting to quit on their own.
Hartman-Boys reminds non-smokers to avoid using e-cigarettes, but for smokers, quitting smoking through e-cigarettes can improve their health and reduce risks. He points out that different things may have different effects on different populations, emphasizing the versatility of e-cigarettes.
