Interventions for quitting vaping.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev

January 2025

Department of Health Promotion and Policy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, USA.

Rationale: There is limited guidance on the best ways to stop using nicotine-containing vapes (otherwise known as e-cigarettes) and ensure long-term abstinence, whilst minimising the risk of tobacco smoking and other unintended consequences. Treatments could include pharmacological interventions, behavioural interventions, or both.

Objectives: To conduct a living systematic review assessing the benefits and harms of interventions to help people stop vaping compared to each other or to placebo or no intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the link between e-cigarette use patterns and health-related symptoms (like fatigue, pain, and emotional problems) along with overall quality of life among adults in the US.
  • Data from over 7,000 participants in the PATH study showed that those who didn't smoke or vape had the best health outcomes, while exclusive e-cigarette users reported lower fatigue and pain compared to exclusive combustible cigarette smokers.
  • The findings suggest that exclusive e-cigarette use is associated with fewer health-related symptoms and a better quality of life than traditional smoking, highlighting the potential for e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool.

Background: The substitution of combustible cigarettes (CC) with non-combustible nicotine alternatives, such as e-cigarettes (EC), significantly lowers exposure to harmful chemicals. However, many individuals who use ECs continue smoking CCs, becoming dual users and remaining at increased risk of toxin exposure. This study will examine how the reduction in cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) after switching to ECs correlates with changes in biomarkers of exposure (BoE) and potential harm (BoPH) to evaluate the extent of harm in dual users.

[The role of vaping in smoking cessation].

Rev Infirm

Dispensaire Émile-Roux, CLAT 63, Centre de tabacologie, 63100 Clermont-Ferrand, France.

The electronic cigarette, or vape, has emerged over the last ten years as an alternative way of helping people give up smoking. Tobacco-free, they produce vapor and deliver only minute levels of toxic substances and carcinogens. Several studies confirm the effectiveness of nicotine vaping products in helping people to stop smoking.
