Susan Harwood, who teaches a smoking cessation class at South Lake Hospital and who smoked for more than 20 years, agreed. She said the chemicals used in some e-cigarettes makes them more dangerous that other methods used to help smokers quit.


"We prefer methods that don't have any addictives," said Harwood, who gives her cessation students nicotine patches.

OK... so what's in the e-cig that isn't in the patch? PG and/or VG and food flavorings.... these are addictive?

The turn of phrase suggest ''additives'' would be the chosen word,not ''addictives''

Looks more like a blip than what you guys think?

Patches didn't help me quit...I smoked with the patch...I added patches to my arm...I still smoked.
I was highly addicted. They are right...I don't know about addiction but patches don't work.
The only thing that worked for me was vaping!
