The potential of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) as an effective quit-smoking tool has been extinguished, new research shows.
Results from a longitudinal analysis of e-cigarette use and smoking cessation in a national sample of 1549 participants showed that baseline e-cigarette use was not associated with change in cigarette consumption at 1 year.
"[W]e found that e-cigarette use by smokers was not followed by greater rates of quitting or by reduction in cigarette consumption 1 year later," the authors, led by Rachel A Grana, PhD, MPH, University of California, San Francisco, write.
The study was published online March 24 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
