Having Trouble Quitting Vaping? You’re Not the Only One
Dr. Mark Eisenberg successfully helped a smoking patient quit by switching to vaping, but the patient later struggled with e-cigarette addiction. Vaping lacks established cessation methods, despite attracting many users. Concerns arise about e-cigarettes addicting new generations to nicotine. Addiction to vaping can be stronger than to cigarettes due to continuous and high levels of nicotine exposure. Breakthroughs in vaping cessation tools are emerging, with medications like cytisinicline showing promise in reducing cravings and pleasure from vaping. While some individuals turn to nicotine pouches for quitting, the long-term effects remain unclear. More research and specialized tools are needed to address the vaping addiction crisis effectively.
