=== 2023: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37712011/ Motives for using electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) as a cessation tool are associated with tobacco abstinence at 1-year follow-up: A prospective investigation among young adults in the United States Air Force.] === | |||
* Researchers who are willing to push back on the mantra of giving primacy to "FDA authorised smoking cessation treatments" and going with evidence of public health impact as the basis for their conclusions. | |||
* Results: Smokers reporting ENDS use for cigarette cessation were more likely to be abstinent at one-year follow-up (Odds Ratio[OR] = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.06-2.49, P =.03) as well as quit using non-cigarette tobacco products (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.65-2.70, P <.001) than those reporting ENDS use for alternative reasons. | |||
* Conclusions: Current tobacco users are recommended to use FDA-approved products for smoking cessation, such as nicotine replacement therapy. However, given the high prevalence of cigarette use among military populations, ENDS may provide a useful alternative harm reduction strategy for this high-risk population. | |||
