New UK study highlights benefits of e-cigarettes in helping smokers quit

Saturday, 27 Mar 2021 09:24 AM MYTLatest UK study supports the benefit of e-cigarettes as a way to help smokers quit smoking. ― Picture from pexels.comKUALA LUMPUR, March 27 ― A new study out of the United Kingdom underscores just how much e-cigarettes can help smokers kick the habit.

“Our results show that when used daily, e-cigarettes help people to quit smoking, compared to no help at all,” said Dr Máirtín McDermott, a Research Fellow at King's College London's National Addiction Centre and lead author of the study. The Cancer Research UK-funded study found those who used refillable e-cigarettes daily were over five times more likely to abstain from tobacco smoking for a month.Those who used disposable, or cartridge e-cigarettes daily were three times more likely to quit smoking for a month.

This supports other studies which show e-cigarettes are an effective way to help smokers quit in comparison to nicotine replacement therapy or medication.
