An article from the archives, this NYT column highlights one of the first studies to be carried out in Italy promoting e-cigs as a potential tool for quitting smoking. The results of the study showed that out of 40 participants, over 50% had reduced their cigarette consumption significantly while a quarter had quit completely.
It is interesting to see the Royal College of Physicians take on the e-cigs, denouncing the 'irrational and immoral' pursuit of regulation over effective nicotine replacement aids. We can only assume that they were referring to special interests waging a direct assault against the 'best' interests of the smoking population by attacking the e-cigarette industry.
In the years that have passed since we first published this article here on our blog at Vaper Empire, there have been numerous studies published in scientific journals around the world that provide further evidence of vaping's effectiveness as a smoking cessation tool. Here's a look at what some of these studies have found:
- Cochrane review finds e-cigs to be more effective than NRTs like patches and gum. Read more here.
- University of Queensland study adds to the evidence that e-cigs are more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies. Read more here.
- Queen Mary University of London study finds vaping nicotine to be nearly twice as effective at helping smokers quit when compared to wearing (patches) or chewing (gum) nicotine. Read more here.
- Researchers from the American College of Cardiology found that e-cigarette users who received smoking cessation counselling were more than twice as likely to quit smoking than those who received counselling but did not use e-cigs. Read more here.
At Vaper Empire, we provide smokers with access to our range of high-quality vaping products through our online store. Our vape supplies include flavoured e-liquid, e-cigarette kits, replacement parts, and various accessories.
