Nicotine vapes best chance to quit smoking, major review finds Read Full Article #VapingCessation #QuitSmoking #NicotineVapes
🚬 Major review of 80 trials (nearly 30,000 people) finds nicotine vapes are ~60% more effective than traditional aids (patches, gum) for quitting smoking. Success rate increases from ~6 in 100 to ~10 in 100.
💨 Nicotine vapes also outperformed non-nicotine vapes, though switching to non-nicotine vapes afterward may help quit nicotine.
⚖️ The review applies to regulated vapes compliant with safety laws, not unregulated ones. Unlicensed e-cigarettes are potentially dangerous.
⚠️ Long-term risks of vaping are not yet clear. The NHS advises children and non-smokers should never vape.
