A recent umbrella review published in Tobacco Use Insights has found no significant variations in respiratory function among electronic cigarette users in the short or medium term, regardless of their usage patterns. The study, conducted by researchers from the Center of Excellence for the acceleration of Harm Reduction (CoEHAR) at the University of Catania, analyzed 12 systematic reviews on the effects of electronic cigarettes.
Read moreIn the ongoing battle against the harmful effects of traditional cigarettes, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that electronic cigarettes, or vapes, are emerging as one of the most effective tools for smoking cessation. The Cochrane Library, a renowned global resource for healthcare decision-making, has recently compiled the findings of 88 studies conducted between 2021 and 2023, involving over 27,000 adult smokers. These studies compared the efficacy of vapes to other popular smoking cessation methods, such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and varenicline, a prescription medication designed to help smokers quit.

Read moreA recent study conducted by a team of Australian and New Zealand academics has found that New Zealand’s adult smoking rate has fallen faster than Australia’s over the past decade, despite New Zealand starting with a higher rate in 2013. The researchers explored potential reasons for this difference, focusing on the contrasting approaches to vaping regulation in the two countries.
Read moreStudy Challenges “Gateway” Theory, Highlights Need for Further Research
A large-scale review of 123 studies, encompassing data from approximately 4 million participants under the age of 29 in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe, has found no conclusive evidence that vaping leads to cigarette smoking among youth. The findings, published in the journal Addiction, challenge the widely debated “gateway” theory and underscore the need for further research to establish any causal links between e-cigarette use and smoking initiation.
Read moreA University of Queensland study reveals smoking rates declined twice as fast in New Zealand compared to Australia, crediting less restrictive vaping policies. Between 2016-2023, New Zealand’s adult daily smoking rates fell by 10% annually, while Australia saw only a 5% annual drop. Researchers attribute this gap to differing approaches to vaping access.
Read moreThe University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) has launched a study to investigate the long-term effects of vaping on cardiovascular and pulmonary health: Vape Check. Funded by a five-year, $5.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Vape Check study aims to provide the most comprehensive evidence to date on how long-term vaping affects disease risk and overall well-being.

A new study by researchers at University College London (UCL) has found that every cigarette smoked can reduce life expectancy by approximately 20 minutes on average. The findings, published in the journal Addiction, suggest that the cumulative effect of smoking can have a significant impact on the length and quality of life.
