E-cigarettes can help you quit, but how often you smoke plays a big role

Various studies proved that e-cigarettes can help you quit, but now, reseachers have discovered that there’s a new factor that plays a role in it.
The team at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center used data from the national Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) to look at the relationship between the frequency of e-cigarette use, the number of attempts to quit cigarettes, and cigarette abstinence.
The study included 24,500 current or recent former cigarette smokers taken from the TUS-CPS survey, the largest sample of smokers studied to date.
The data showed that having made an attempt to quit smoking was more likely among smokers using e-cigarettes than non-users.
However, as found in other randomised trials and observational studies, the results also showed that the cigarette quit attempts and quit success were directly related to the number of days of e-cigarette use.
