New England Journal of Medicine Backs Vapes as Harm Reduction

The New England Journal of Medicine published a study and editorial advocating for e-cigarettes in smoking cessation due to their harm reduction potential. Conducted by the University of Bern, the study found that participants using vapes showed higher abstinence rates compared to those using standard cessation methods. Experts praised the study's impact on healthcare professionals' views. Despite past evidence supporting the switch from cigarettes to vapes for health benefits, skepticism persists due to misconceptions about nicotine and tobacco industry involvement.
