Questão

Big U.S. tobacco companies are all developing
e-cigarettes. The battery-powered gadgets feature a
glowing tip and a heating element that turns liquid
nicotine and flavorings into a cloud of vapor that
users inhale. Some past research has suggested
that using e-cigarettes may help smokers cut down
on use of traditional tobacco products, or even
transition entirely away from tobacco – an idea
aggressively marketed by e-cigarette and tobacco
companies.


But a recent European study says that smokers
who also use e-cigarettes may be half as likely to
give up tobacco as smokers who never vape at all.
Researchers analyzed data from a 2014
survey of more than 13,000 current or former
smokers in the European Union. About 2,500 had
tried vaping at least once; 46% of the participants
were former smokers and 19% currently or
previously used e-cigarettes. The study revealed
that people smoked an average of about 14
cigarettes a day when they didn’t vape, and around
16 cigarettes a day when they did.


“This is important because e-cigarettes are
widely promoted as a smoking cessation tool”, said
senior author Stanton Glantz of California, San
Francisco. “And, while there is no question that
some smokers do successfully quit with e-cigarettes,
they keep many more people smoking”, he added.


“Most adult smokers express a desire to quit,
and many try and fail”, said Samir Soneji, a health
policy researcher in New Hampshire. “E-cigarettes
might seem like an appealing cessation tool because
the devices in some ways mimic the smoking, but
nicotine gum or patches may be more effective.”
