Study on E-Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation

A study examined the use of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. The study found that individuals using e-cigarettes in addition to standard cessation counseling had a higher abstinence rate from smoking. Patients in the intervention group were more likely to quit smoking by the end of the study period, although they were more likely to continue using nicotine. The study emphasized the importance of counseling patients regarding the safety and effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation.
