The study's outcome revealed that:
* Six per cent of smokers quit within two weeks increasing to 45 percent within eight weeks.
* Fifty-two percent of all patients reported both increased levels of energy and visible improvement in their physical appearance
* When asked what factors about smoking
tobacco cigarettes were the hardest to give up, 49 percent of patients said nicotine cravings and 24 percent the habit itself. Twenty seven percent of all participating smokers said that a combination of all factors � the habit, nicotine, the taste and feeling of smoking � made it hard to quit.
When asked if an e-cigarette could act as an agent to overcome all the physical and psychological challenges to quit
tobacco smoking, all doctors said 'yes'.
Dr Clifford Hulley, one of the participating medical professionals in the survey, reported that "an e-cigarette is the most effective treatment method on the market for quitting
tobacco smoking".
