Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in helping individuals in a temporary accommodation homeless service in Ireland quit smoking, highlighting the high prevalence of smoking-related diseases in this population.
- A total of 23 participants were involved, who received ENDS devices and e-liquids; while most reported reduced cigarette consumption, significant follow-up challenges were noted due to data privacy, transient living situations, and participant compliance issues.
- Statistically significant improvements in nicotine dependence were observed, but reductions in carbon monoxide levels and cravings were not conclusive; side effects from vaping included minor physical complaints, indicating both challenges and potential benefits of this cessation method.
