Shopify API - 13 November 2021

Hello Bigboss! How are you today? I hope you are always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!

A study titled, “Knowledge and Attitudes Among Medical Students Towards Clinical Use of Electronic Cigarettes: A Cross-Sectional Study in a University Hospital in Saudi Arabia,” aimed to measure the likelihood of study participants supporting the use of electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation. A total of 399 students completed a four-item questionnaire.

Compiled responses indicated that a minority approved of e-cigarette use for smoking cessation. “A small minority (13.5%) believed that e-cigarettes are FDA approved for smoking cessation, while about one-third believed e-smoking reduces cancer risk (31.1%) and can aid in smoking cessation (31.1%).”

17.5% would recommend e-cigs for smoking cessation

Furthermore, less than half of the participants believed that e-cigarettes are better for patients than tobacco products. “Moreover, 35.9% agreed or strongly agreed that e-cigarettes are better for patients than tobacco products, and 17.5% would likely recommend e-cigarettes to their patients for smoking cessation.”

In line with similar research from around the world, researchers identified countless misconceptions about e-cigarettes. “We observed several misconceptions about addiction and inadequate awareness of the harmful effects of e-cigarettes, leading to non-scientific opinions regarding their therapeutic use for harm reduction or smoking cessation. Academic programs surrounding this topic should be updated in accordance with the recommendations of the majority of experts,” they concluded.
