Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? Hope you're always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!
On this occasion, we will provide information about a new study published in the journal Tobacco Induced Diseases, which once again shows that e-cigarettes are more effective than other NRTs in helping people successfully quit smoking.
The study, titled "The impact of electronic cigarettes on smoking cessation and smoking initiation: a rapid review and evidence-based meta-analysis," conducted a systematic search of eleven databases from January 2015 to June 2020. Systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and cohort studies comparing e-cigarettes with placebo e-cigarettes, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or no e-cigarette use, were included in the review.
No serious side effects of vaping were reported in the included studies. The two main outcomes analyzed by the researchers were smoking cessation among smokers and smoking initiation among non-smoking adolescents, while looking for side effects as a secondary outcome. Regarding smoking cessation, findings from 4 systematic reviews suggested that e-cigarettes contributed to smoking cessation, while one suggested the opposite.
Data from 5 randomized controlled trials showed that e-cigarettes were superior to other NRTs (such as patches or gum) or placebo for smoking cessation, while other data showed that adolescents who had used e-cigarettes had a greater risk of starting to smoke than non-users. No serious side effects were reported in the included studies.
Vaping linked to personality factors
Meanwhile, in line with previous findings and countless arguments by public health experts, another recent study of high school students in the US found that adolescents who crave excitement are more likely to use a variety of illicit substances, including tobacco and vaping products.
Researchers Kevin Tan and Douglas C. Smith found that adolescents who were less satisfied with their lives and sought risky and exciting experiences were more likely to regularly use a variety of illicit substances, including nicotine through e-cigarettes. In addition, the study's findings showed that participants' attitudes toward vaping also reflected how they viewed other substances.
