Who today can afford to say that the vape does not provide substantial help in the fight once morest smoking? In the United States, a new study has just proven the interest of vaping in reducing tobacco consumption. The evidence is there and it is increasingly difficult for anti-vapes to provide viable arguments for its ban.
VAPE HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT AGAINST SMOKING!
In the United States, the proportion of smokers fell to 12.5% of the population in 2020, its lowest level ever. In the same year, the proportion of electronic cigarette users was 3.7%.
All this is clearly no coincidence! Indeed, a study published in the journal « The Lancet“brings new factual evidence to the debate regarding the role of e-cigarettes in tobacco control.
The study analyzed the behavior of nearly 54,000 Americans between 2015 and 2019. Over this period, 1.7% of the sample declared having started using the electronic cigarette and at the same time, 43.6% declared to have given up this electronic cigarette.
For tobacco, still between 2015 and 2019, 1.6% of the sample started to smoke and only 14% stopped traditional cigarettes.
According to the study authors, current tobacco control programs need to focus on these priority populations as well as people with mental health symptoms. The vape therefore seems to have a positive impact in the fight once morest smoking and can help develop more effective strategies such as offering electronic cigarettes to smokers as an alternative to reduce their tobacco consumption.
