Nicotine vapes best chance to quit smoking, major review finds
Researchers found nicotine e-cigarettes raised quit rates by about 4 per 100 smokers versus nicotine patches or gum, in 80 trials involving 29,861 participants.
- A new Cochrane Review found smokers are 61% more likely to quit using nicotine vapes than traditional methods like patches or gum, based on analysis of 80 trials involving nearly 30,000 people.
- According to the World Health Organization, smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, killing over 7 million people annually, prompting researchers to seek more effective cessation alternatives.
- Data from 80 trials indicate about 4 extra quitters in every 100 smokers succeed using nicotine e-cigarettes, which consistently outperform non-nicotine alternatives and other traditional cessation tools.
- Health policy expert Jamie Hartmann-Boyce said regulated nicotine vapes are "less harmful than smoking," providing a "proven and viable option," while urging users to only purchase devices tested by national regulators.
- Long-Term risks of vaping remain uncertain, and experts emphasize that nicotine vapes are "unlikely to be completely risk-free" and require further study, despite their effectiveness as a cessation tool.
