VAPING NEWS: U.S. SMOKING CESSATION

“There is not enough evidence to conclude that e-cigarettes helps smokers quit tobacco, a US government report said Thursday, as the vaping industry faces increased regulatory pressures. The advice is contrary to that provided by the British government, which classes e-cigarettes as a nicotine replacement therapy that makes smoking cessation attempts more likely to succeed. The report found that although cigarette smoking among American adults is at an all-time low (14 percent), it remains the leading cause of preventable disease, disability and death in the United States. Approximately 34 million American adults currently smoke cigarettes.”
