Electronic cigarettes: concrete help to quit smoking, but also risk of new addiction

le-sigarette-elettroniche-fanno-smettere-di-fumare

Electronic cigarettes (EICGs) represent, although in a fairly low percentage, a concrete help for those who wish and decide to quit smoking.

In fact, The New England Journal of Medicine publishes a study conducted in Great Britain 2015 and 2018 on 886 people who wanted to lose tobacco addiction. According to this study, the use of e-cigarettes has higher outcomes (18%) of quitting smoking cigarettes than that of other tools, such as chewing gum or patches, which was 9.9%.

While it is true that smoking e-cigarettes allows you to avoid inhaling tar and other toxic substances produced by combustion, regulate the amount of nicotine you take in, and cope with possible withdrawal, it is also true that it exposes you to the intake of many potentially harmful substances ( 7 thousand different molecules, according to 2017 research) and vaping can create a new addiction by also activating pull effects on individuals who have never been smokers.
