Vaping can lead to addiction in smokers: study

A new study conducted in Cleveland, Ohio has shown that individuals who use electronic cigarettes to quit smoking may still be at risk of addiction due to the presence of nicotine in e-cigarettes.

This study analyzed electronic health records from approximately 112,000 smokers seeking smoking cessation treatment at a hospital between 2018 and 2020. Over the course of the study, the number of cigarette users who also used electronic cigarettes more than doubled, increasing from 0.8% in the first year to over 2% in the second year.

Around one-fifth of dual users (those who smoke both traditional and electronic cigarettes) quit smoking within a year, with a slightly higher success rate than those who only smoke traditional cigarettes. However, research shows that about two-thirds of smokers are still smoking one year later.
