Addiction specialists from the Medical University of South Carolina are urging physicians to integrate nicotine e-cigarettes into standard smoking cessation protocols. In a perspective published in JAMA, the authors state that reducing global tobacco-related deaths—which exceed eight million annually—requires clinicians to offer personalized cessation pathways rather than a rigid, uniform approach.

Adult smokers given e-cigarettes are 76% more likely to quit combustible tobacco than those receiving automated health advice, even without behavioral counseling. Conducted by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and published in NEJM Evidence, the randomized controlled trial confirms that basic access to vaping devices acts as a viable intervention on its own.
Read moreA committee of international researchers published in JAMA recommends that physicians discuss e-cigarettes with adult smokers seeking to quit. While smoking prevalence in the United States dropped from 22.5 percent in 2002 to 11.6 percent in 2022, combustible cigarettes remain a leading cause of preventable death worldwide, prompting clinicians to re-evaluate underutilized cessation tools.
Read moreResearchers at the Penn State College of Medicine have confirmed that switching to nicotine e-cigarettes drastically improves a smoker’s chances of quitting. Published on May 19 in JAMA Network Open, the findings demonstrate that nicotine-based vapes not only triple cessation success rates but also provide a viable harm-reduction alternative for adults unable to quit using traditional approved medications.
Read moreA new survey of over 1,300 nicotine users reveals that dual-use of smoke-free alternatives does not act as a gateway to smoking, but rather serves as a critical stepping stone toward quitting.
Read moreA comprehensive Oxford University overview of 14 systematic reviews confirms that nicotine vapes significantly outperform traditional replacement therapies like patches and gums in helping smokers quit.
Read morePatients with severe mental disorders face a mortality gap of up to 25 years compared to the general population, largely due to smoking-related diseases. A new study led by the Spanish Dual Pathology Foundation (SEPD) challenges the traditional “quit or die” approach, revealing that 73% of these patients never receive effective cessation treatment. The findings suggest that electronic cigarettes serve as a critical “harm reduction” tool, offering efficacy rates comparable to pharmaceutical interventions like varenicline for this high-risk demographic.
Read moreA major new study from Queen Mary University of London challenges common misconceptions about the concurrent use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, known as “dual use.” Published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research, the findings suggest that smokers who engage in dual use not only reduce their intake of harmful chemicals but are also more likely to eventually quit smoking altogether compared to those who continue to smoke exclusively.
Read moreThe question of whether vaping should be embraced as a tool to help smokers quit has ignited a fierce debate within the global public health community. At a recent gathering in Geneva to discuss the World Health Organization’s (WHO) tobacco control treaty, over 1,400 delegates grappled with this divisive issue. While smoking rates have declined, 1.2 billion people worldwide still use tobacco, prompting urgent discussions on how to address the “tobacco epidemic.”
Read moreFor years, a passionate debate has surrounded the role of electronic cigarettes (vapes) in the fight against tobacco. While many experts have championed vaping as a valuable harm reduction and smoking cessation tool, others have raised valid concerns about its own health risks, its appeal to youth, and the potential for prolonged “dual use” (using both cigarettes and vapes), which could undermine quitting efforts. Now, in a significant development, the Société Francophone de Tabacologie (SFT) – a respected society of French-speaking experts including pulmonologists, tobacco specialists, nurses, and pharmacists – has formally weighed in. After a rigorous scientific consensus process (using the established Delphi method), these experts have published a landmark document confirming that vaping is indeed an effective tool for tobacco cessation, while also emphasizing that its use should be transitional.
