Dueling Studies Say E-Cigs Can Help Quit, But Also Addicting, Harmful
From: Physicians News
Regular use of electronic cigarettes may help users of traditional cigarettes kick the habit. The tobacco habit, that is.
According to a new study from the Center for Survey Research, smokers who used electronic cigarettes every day for one month (intensive users) were six times more likely to stop smoking combustable cigarettes, as compared to smokers who had never used e-cigs.
“This study provides strong support for the potential harm-reducing value of electronic cigarettes, which allow smokers to get the nicotine they want without exposing themselves to the 4,000 toxic chemicals in tobacco cigarettes,” said lead author Lois Biener, PhD, University of Massachusetts.
