smoking-cessation online survey results

[UntamedRose]

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.-

and that study was done with the BLU ecig. Imagine how it would have turned out with the eGo or Darwin ....

This is very hopeful information, especially considering the Blu is a flawed product. Although I have been rid of mine nearly a year ago now, I'm sure the atomizer and battery are not too bad, considering. The main flaw is the cartridges they sell you promising to last as long as many cigarettes. In reality, the cartridges contain 2-3 drops of juice at the most and only last a few drags.

I'm sure if the study was conducted with a better product the quit rate would be far closer to 100%.
