Researchers from the Rutgers Center for Tobacco Studies say it is crucial that doctors accurately understand the risks of nicotine so they are in a better position to help smokers on their cessation journey.

Published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, the study titled, "Nicotine Risk Misperception Among US Physicians," surveyed over 1,000 doctors from six specialties about their knowledge of nicotine/tobacco use. The research team found that 80% of those surveyed mistakenly believed that nicotine is carcinogenic.

“Physicians need to understand the true risks of nicotine use because they are critical in prescribing and recommending FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapy products to help patients who use other harmful forms of tobacco,” said Michael B. Steinberg, medical director of the Rutgers Center for Tobacco Studies, and a professor and chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. “Physicians must be able to accurately communicate these risks, which may include low-nicotine cigarettes, which are no safer than traditional cigarettes,” they added.

UK health institutions have an opposing stance

In contrast, in the UK, e-cigarettes containing nicotine have been officially recognized and recommended as a smoking cessation tool by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

A press release from the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) welcomed the development. “The new draft guidelines on how to effectively help smokers quit, published on February 16, 2022, state that:

• Nicotine-containing e-cigarettes can help people quit smoking and are as effective as other cessation options.
• People should be able to use e-cigarettes as one of several options to support smoking cessation, if they wish.
