E-Cigarettes May Significantly Reduce Tobacco Cravings
From: University Herald
New research suggests that e-cigarettes could offer smokers a realistic way to kick their tobacco smoking addiction.
Researchers at KU Leuven found that e-cigarettes successfully reduced cravings for tobacco cigarettes, with only minimal side effects.
E-cigs were developed as a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. They contain 100 to 1,000 times less toxic substances and emulate the experience of smoking a tobacco cigarette.
“By comparison: of all the smokers who quit using nothing but willpower, only 3 to 5 percent remain smoke-free for 6 to 12 months after quitting,” researcher Frank Baeyens said in a statement.
