loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Cochrane review analysed 80 studies, involving a total of 29,861 adults who smoked, comparing nicotine vapes with other options offered to help people quit. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is clear evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes increase smoking cessation rates at six months or longer compared to nicotine replacement therapy,\u201d Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, senior author of the review at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, told reporters during a press briefing presenting the report, adding that nicotine vapes increase cessation rates by about 60%. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur certainty in that evidence is high, which means we do not think future studies are likely to meaningfully change these conclusions,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p>The review found that more people were able to quit smoking and remain smoke-free for at least six months with e-cigarettes than with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum and sprays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our study population, we might expect six people per 100 to quit with nicotine replacement therapy. If they were given nicotine e-cigarettes, we might expect that number to increase to around 10 per 100,\u201d Hartmann-Boyce said. <\/p>\n<p>NRTs help smokers stop by supplying nicotine as a substitute, easing withdrawal symptoms, though even with this support, long-term quit rates remain low.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, people may also be more likely to stop smoking with nicotine vapes than with non-nicotine alternatives or behavioural support only, the study found.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">No nicotine-containing products are safe for your heart<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Not all vapes are the same<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes can be a useful alternative for smokers wanting to quit, the researchers warn that not all products are alike. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe harms that we often hear about are overwhelmingly from unregulated vaping devices that contain ingredients that are known to be harmful for human health. They may contain psychoactive substances other than nicotine \u2014 for example, THC (the main chemical compound in cannabis,\u201d Hartmann-Boyce noted. <\/p>\n<p>She added that the products included in the review are part of controlled trials and regulated for sale on the market, which can differ from other products people encounter in everyday use. <\/p>\n<p>The researchers also warned that more evidence is needed on the effects of newer types of vaping devices. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Europe is the global leader in tobacco use and vaping may be to blame, WHO warns <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Towards quitting smoking<\/h2>\n<p>Tobacco dependence is caused not only by the effects of nicotine but also through broader social and behavioural aspects, the researchers noted. <\/p>\n<p>Quitting tobacco is associated with substantial health benefits. However, despite most people who smoke wanting to quit, many find it difficult to succeed in the long term, the researchers added. <\/p>\n<p>Almost half of the smokers who try to stop without support do not manage to stop for even a week, and fewer than 5% remain smoke-free a year after quitting. <\/p>\n<p>In light of this, the researchers noted that there is a need for more research into alternatives. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is interest in developing smoking cessation products that not only help relieve the unpleasant effects of nicotine withdrawal, but that also act as effective substitutes for smoking behaviour and the rituals and sensations that accompany smoking, without the health risks associated with the inhalation of tobacco smoke,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

patches or gum, a new review has found.\u00a0The Cochrane review analysed 80 studies, involving a total of 29,861 adults who smoked, comparing nicotine vapes with other options offered to help people quit.\u00a0\u201cThere is clear evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes increase smoking cessation rates at six months or longer compared to nicotine replacement therapy,\u201d Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, senior author of the review at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, told reporters during a press briefing presenting the report, adding that nicotine vapes increase cessation rates by about 60%.\u00a0\u201cOur certainty in that evidence is high, which means we do not think future studies are likely to meaningfully change these conclusions,\u201d she added.\u00a0The review found that more people were able to quit smoking and remain smoke-free for at least six months with e-cigarettes than with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum and sprays.\u201cIn our study population, we might expect six people per 100 to quit with nicotine replacement therapy. If they were given nicotine e-cigarettes, we might expect that number to increase to around 10 per 100,\u201d Hartmann-Boyce said.\u00a0NRTs help smokers stop by supplying nicotine as a substitute, easing withdrawal symptoms, though even with this support, long-term quit rates remain low.Meanwhile, people may also be more likely to stop smoking with nicotine vapes than with non-nicotine alternatives or behavioural support only, the study found.Not all vapes are the same\u00a0Despite the evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes can be a useful alternative for smokers wanting to quit, the researchers warn that not all products are alike.\u00a0\u201cThe harms that we often hear about are overwhelmingly from unregulated vaping devices that contain ingredients that are known to be harmful for human health. They may contain psychoactive substances other than nicotine \u2014 for example, THC (the main chemical compound in cannabis,\u201d Hartmann-Boyce noted.\u00a0She added that the products included in the review are part of controlled trials and regulated for sale on the market, which can differ from other products people encounter in everyday use.\u00a0The researchers also warned that more evidence is needed on the effects of newer types of vaping devices.\u00a0Towards quitting smoking\u00a0Tobacco dependence is caused not only by the effects of nicotine but also through broader social and behavioural aspects, the researchers noted.\u00a0Quitting tobacco is associated with substantial health benefits. However, despite most people who smoke wanting to quit, many find it difficult to succeed in the long term, the researchers added.\u00a0Almost half of the smokers who try to stop without support do not manage to stop for even a week, and fewer than 5% remain smoke-free a year after quitting.\u00a0In light of this, the researchers noted that there is a need for more research into alternatives.\u00a0\u201cThere is interest in developing smoking cessation products that not only help relieve the unpleasant effects of nicotine withdrawal, but that also act as effective substitutes for smoking behaviour and the rituals and sensations that accompany smoking, without the health risks associated with the inhalation of tobacco smoke,\u201d they wrote.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/08\/26\/nicotine-e-cigarettes-are-more-effective-than-other-alternatives-for-quitting-smoking-stud&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/88\/83\/45\/1200x675_cmsv2_19b8bfcb-3095-5139-98cb-7d0ded050ec6-9888345.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Prince Harry, Meghan, and their children arrive back in the UK Tech News Meta agrees to pay $17bn in landmark US child-safety settlement deal Economy Warsh faces yields, a Treasury rescue and inflation at Jackson Hole No Comment Hundreds missing as flash floods tear through Nepal Europe News Prince Harry, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2112665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2112665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2112665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2112665\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2112665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2112665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2112665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
