Electronic cigarettes may not help people stop smoking – study

[mozart123]

NEW YORK - A small U.S. study raises new questions about whether using electronic cigarettes will lead people to quit smoking, adding to the debate over how tightly the products should be regulated.

The study, which looked at the habits of 88 smokers who also used e-cigarettes, was published as a research letter in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday. It found that smokers who also used e-cigarettes were no more likely to quit smoking after a year, compared to smokers who didn't use the devices.

Outside experts say the small number of respondents, and a lack of data on whether they intentionally used e-cigarettes to help them quit smoking, mean the findings from the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco can't take the place of much more rigorous study on the subject.

ang nakakatawa dito ireregulate nila ng husto ang selling or usage of e-cigs pero yung analogs naman wala silang gagawin..

kasi nga naman its a business.. ipokrito din yung mga gustong mag pa ban or tight regulation ng e-cig eh.. ehdi hayaan nalang din nila yung industry ng e-cig kahit na walang concrete proof na hindi naman makakapagpa-quit ng yosi para atleast "law of competition" nalang.

ayaw pa rin nila.. kasi sakim ang tobacco company.. at mas malaki ang "lagay nila sa mga politiko".

bunch of lame@ss hypocrites.

mejo OT: ang isang matagal ko nang tanong - BAKIT WALANG LUYA SIGARET?

another OT: interested ako sa vape. and in my opinion ay mas "healthy"  kumpara sa tabako.

BTT: nahe-hurt daw ang sales (and affected ang tax collection) kaya pinapa-regulate (kuno) yung e-cig.

5 Important Lessons From The Biggest E-Cigarette Study

Those colorfully lit e-cigarettes are giving off way more than just "harmless water vapor," according to a comprehensive new study review by UC San Francisco's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education. Users could also be inhaling and exhaling low levels of chemicals such as formaldehyde, propylene glycol and acetaldehyde (to name a few), and this secondhand vapor could be a potentially toxic source of indoor air pollution.
