Daily e-cigarette users had highest rates of quitting smoking

[oplholik]

"Among U.S. adults who were established smokers in the past five years, those who use e-cigarettes daily were significantly more likely to have quit cigarettes compared to those who have never tried e-cigarettes. Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and the Rutgers School of Public Health found that over half of daily e-cigarette users had quit smoking in the past five years, compared to just 28 percent of adults who had never tried e-cigarettes. This is one of the first studies to reveal the patterns of cessation prevalence among e-cigarette users at a national level."

An Encouraging article.

Not sure why I am having So Much Trouble finding the actual Study?

Apparently they used survey data created by others. If they had more detail about the full time vapers they might find some common factors that push the smoking quit rate higher than50%. My impression of vape shop customers 3 years ago was the quit rate for them was closer to 75% but more detailed research would answer the question. What I like to say is, if you never stop vaping, sooner or later you'll stop smoking. Mentoring and support make a difference.

Another recent study (Aug.3) where Daniel Giovenco, PhD of Columbia Univ. was involved.

Basically a 'fake news' warning:

Content analysis of U.S. news stories about e-cigarettes in 2015 | Nicotine & Tobacco Research | Oxford Academic

"Coverage of e-cigarettes in the news media may shape public perceptions about them but little is known about such news content." ...

"Nearly half of articles (45.1%) focused primarily on e-cigarette policy/regulatory issues, although e-cigarette prevalence (21.0%) and health effects (21.7%) were common main topics. Concerns about youth were frequently mentioned, including the rise in youth e-cigarette use (45.4%), gateway to smoking potential (33.9%) and appeal of flavors (22.4%). Youth e-cigarette prevalence was more frequently mentioned than adult prevalence in articles discussing FDA regulation (61% vs. 13.5%, respectively). News articles more frequently discussed potential e-cigarette risks or concerns (80%) than benefits (45.4%), such as smoking harm-reduction. Quoted physicians, researchers, and government representatives were more likely to refer to e-cigarette risks than benefits." ...

"Such coverage may impact e-cigarette risk perceptions, use intentions and policy support."

Thank you Kent.

I am dealing with a Serious low C8H10N4O2 deficiency right now.
