Obviously, we know the issue of e-cigarettes in some countries is a contentious one. There is a continuous smear campaign against the product and we seem to hear the same frustrating rhetoric coming from certain public health officials. One line that they love to use is 'there is no evidence that e-cigarettes help people quit tobacco'. Obviously, we at Vaper Empire know this is not true and of course, it doesn't take a genius to realise that if people are vaping then their tobacco usage will drop or entirely cease as the nicotine they require is met from consuming nicotine e-liquid.
Luckily, there is a great scientific review led by Queen Mary University of London Professor Peter Hajek, MA PhD that explains that nicotine replacement therapies are not useful for most people and that e-cigarettes and vaping do help people to reduce their tobacco usage.
Let's hope that governments around the world see common sense one day and allow e-cigarettes to be readily available to smokers.
Research Shows E-Cigs To Be Effective
Professor Hajek and the team of researchers that he led conducted a review of 13 e-cigarette trials, of which two were randomised control trials. For those that don't know, randomised control trials are widely considered to be the highest form of medical evidence.
The researchers found evidence to suggest that e-cigarettes containing nicotine are more effective in helping people quit smoking than placebo e-cigarettes that contain no nicotine.
Vaping May Be More Effective Than Patches
Analysing the findings of a separate study, the researchers determined that the study's results suggest e-cigarettes were at least as effective as nicotine patches when it came to quitting smoking. Meanwhile, a separate study that the team reviewed suggested e-cigs are more effective than nicotine patches.
