Fox Business: Would You Use E-Cigarettes to Help You Stop Smoking?

Dr. Keith Ablow on the use of electronic cigarettes to quit smoking.

Some misinformation (400 carcinogens in smoke/1 ecig=2 packs), but otherwise an excellent discussion on e-cigarettes!

That was a very good discussion that hit on some important aspects that usually aren't brought up in the media. I do wish we could get medical doctors to do articles like this one, instead of a pop-culture psychiatrist who has collaborated with the likes of Glenn Beck, but that might be asking a bit much.

In any case, I'll take what we can get and hopefully these types of discussions will spread into the rest of the media like it seems to be in the business community.

Thanks for posting this.

Good to see a psychiatrist get behind the concept of using e-cigs as a bridge between smoking and quitting.

The e-cig companies cannot make the claims but that won't stop doctors from giving the green light to their patients to vape instead.

If cigarettes are the scourge on society that the FDA will readily say they are (and rightly so), then we can only hope they do the right thing when it comes to the deeming regulations. We finally have a viable alternative to analogs......they better new mess up a good thing.

Thanks Kristin. Fantastic story. My own doctor had encouraged me to continue with e-cigs too when I told him I quit smoking combustibles the same day I got my first GoGo kit a year & a half ago. It was great to hear!

Cheaper than Adderall.

If that interview could appear in every media outlet in the nation, our fight will have been won.

I just watched both. Very informative & seemed truly unbiased.

Cheaper than Adderall.

Lately I have been very forgetful in the mornings...before I have my coffee and vape.
I forgot to plug in my wife's hair curlers when I got out of the shower yesterday, despite a note left taped to the shower door.
I was in the dog house. Her comment to me was, "I think you have a mental problem...go see a doctor about Adderall."
The real problem is that all of this took place before getting the nicotine in my system. I don't want any medication- I do fine- am focused and my memory works very well but that's only after I get nicotine in my system...that morning cup of coffee helps get me started as well.

Interesting in the fact that the Doc states that E cigs are a great "bridge" to quit everything.... I have made this question myself, am I going to be able to quit vape on the mid or long term?

*SQUEEE!!!* I loved it! The 2 inaccuracies are so minor compared to the outstandingly astute evaluation by Dr. Kieth Ablow.
