Vaping may benefit a person’s attempt to quit smoking.
A combination of electronic cigarettes with nicotine and counseling delivered a two-fold greater success rate of smoking cessation than lone smoking cessation counseling, according to new findings from a multi-site trial in Canada.
In new data presented virtually at the ACC.20 Together with Word Congress of Cardiology (ACC/WCC) Scientific Sessions, investigators from the Jewish General Hospital in Quebec showed that cessation plans including either nicotine or non-nicotine e-cigarettes plus counseling were associated with significantly greater likelihood of user combustible cigarette cessation than just smoking cessation counseling over 12 weeks.
The trial, presented by lead author Mark J. Eisenberg, MD, MPH, a cardiologist at Jewish General and professor of Medicine at McGill University, show the benefit of vaping products in circumstantial, short-term attempts to quit smoking.
