Scientists Identify Most Effective Method to Quit Smoking: Nicotine Vapes
Islamabad: A new global review covering 2014 to 2023 has found that the most effective method to quit smoking is the use of nicotine-containing electronic cigarettes, commonly known as vapes.
Evidence shows that nicotine-rich vapes outperform other nicotine replacement methods such as patches, gums, lozenges, and behavioral support, and are also more effective than nicotine-free e-cigarettes in helping smokers quit.
However, experts caution that switching from one nicotine product to another does not necessarily guarantee health benefits. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while e-cigarettes contain far fewer harmful chemicals than the roughly 7,000 toxins found in regular cigarette smoke, they are not considered completely safe.
Medical professionals agree that traditional cigarettes are linked to cancer, metabolic disorders, mental health decline, and other serious health issues. Scientists continue to study the long-term effects of electronic cigarettes on human health.
