Vapes more effective than other quit smoking aids, landmark Cochrane review finds
Nicotine vapes are more effective at helping people quit smoking than traditional nicotine replacement products. A scientific review analyzed 104 studies involving over 30,000 participants and found that vaping with nicotine is more successful in smoking cessation. There were no significant differences in side effects among the groups. Regulated nicotine vapes showed no evidence of serious harm; however, longer-term studies are needed for further evaluation. Public health agencies support nicotine vapes as a harm-reduction measure for adult smokers, emphasizing proper regulation and cautioning against non-smoker use, particularly by young individuals. Future research will focus on addressing gaps in evidence and ensuring safety in vaping practices.
