E-Cigarettes Can Help Smokers Quit

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 28 million Americans smoke tobacco (11% of US adults). 68% of smokers want to quit, and 55% of smokers have tried at least once. However, fewer than one in ten (7.5%) have been even temporarily successful. One of my smoking friends used to regularly joke, "Quitting is easy; I've done it dozens of times." [...] Dr. Nancy Rigotti concludes, "The evidence now supports a strong conclusion that e-cigarettes are tools that clinicians can use to help adults stop smoking, especially those who are unable to quit with current evidence-based treatments."
