Study shows vaping beats gum, lozenges for quitting smoking
A new Australian clinical trial shows that vaping flavored nicotine liquids is significantly more effective for quitting smoking than traditional nicotine gum or lozenges. Reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine on July 14, the study found that smokers using vaping devices were three times more likely to quit after six months. Over 1,000 government-assisted Australians took part, all of whom wanted to quit. Participants were randomly assigned to use either vaping or traditional nicotine replacement therapy.
11.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 2.4 million current smokers in Australia 12.90% of men are current smokers but only 9.30% of women.
