What is Nicotine E-cigarettes as a Tool for Smoking Cessation about?

There is abundant evidence that e-cigarettes can help some individuals to quit smoking, so they should be more widely recommended as smoking cessation aids.Electronic (or e)-cigarettes are hand-held, battery-operated devices that heat a liquid -containing propylene glycol and/or glycerin, flavoring compounds, and typically nicotine -to produce an aerosol that users inhale, or vape. The consequences of nicotine vaping are controversial, with two perspectives dominating the discussion: the risks of vaping for young people; and the potential of vaping to increase smoking cessation among adults 1 . In this Comment, we focus on the latter. First, we review evidence that vaping increases smoking cessation. Then, we examine the health consequences of e-cigarettes. Next, we review differences across countries in how e-cigarettes are regulated. Finally, we conclude with what the evidence implies for clinical care, taking into account what medical and governmental authorities in various countries consider to be the appropriate role of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation.
