Is there any statistics available....

[USA-Alex]

which shows things like:

- X % persons quit smoking analogs with the help of the e-cig and quit vaping e-cigs.
- X % persons quit smoking analogs with the help of the e-cig and still vapes but 0-mg. nic. juice.
- X % persons quit smoking analogs with the help of the e-cig and still vape XY-mg. nic. juice.
- X % persons quit smoking analogs with the help of the e-cig and vape now more mg. nic. Vs. analogs.
- X % persons quit smoking analogs with the help of the e-cig but relapse to analogs after some time.

Just curious?

Good question....now you've got me curious as well. The numbers, whatever they are, will be staggering to me since I've only just stumbled into this whole vaping-world.... If someone asked me I'd say it was a new craze, lol. Little did I know how long it's all been around....

Not exactly, there is a group putting together that information...but I dont expect it to come out for a while lot of info to go though.

However we do have this but keep in mind it's based on the ecig Blu.
Results: The primary fınding was that the 6-month point prevalence of smoking abstinence amongthe e-cigarette users in the sample was 31.0% (95% CI
24.8%, 37.2%). A large percentage of respondents reported a reduction in the number of cigarettes they smoked (66.8%) and almost half reported abstinence from smoking for a period of time (48.8%).
Those respondents using e-cigarettes more than 20 times per day had a quit rate of 70.0%.
Of respondents who were not smoking at 6 months, 34.3% were not using e-cigarettes or any nicotine-containing products at the time.

Conclusions: Findings suggest that e-cigarettes may hold promise as a smoking-cessation method and that they are worthy of further study using more-rigorous research designs.-

It's not exactly scientific study, but we do have the polls. Where ECF members answer polls with questions like; how old are you, what mg e-liquid do you use, are you male or female, how long did it take to switch from smoking to vaping, how many mg's do you use, does your doctor approve of vaping, do you intend to quit vaping eventually, do you intend to go to 0mg nicotine eventually, and more...
Polls

My boss (which is a smoker and an RN) told me her doctor told her there was a 70% sucess rate with e-cigs. Though I have no idea where he got his info from, that sounds great!

For comparison, The Patch has about an 8% efficacy rate after 24 weeks of use.

I saw another study today that showed that if a doctor prescribes the patch, then it reduces the efficacy to 3% at the 6 month mark.

I also think you'll enjoy the Polls. If you do vote in the Polls, make sure you also make a post so it will count on your Posts total. It's a fun place to read up on how we, the people, think and feel about vaping and the little extras we want to share with others.
