The study highlights gaps in comparing e-cigarettes to newer aids and the need for global research on long-term safety. While e-cigarettes are effective for quitting, evidence on adverse events is inconclusive. The overview emphasizes the importance of high-quality data and urgent studies in low-income countries.
