=== 2023: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37540451/ Comparison of smoking prevalence in Canada before and after nicotine vaping product access using the SimSmoke model] ===
* Using a version of the ''SimSmoke'' model calibrated to the Canadian population, this study compares actual smoking trends from 2012-2020 with the counterfactual (i.e. what would have been expected in a world without e-cigarettes, as estimated by projecting pre-2012 trends):
** Results: Comparing 2012-2020 survey data of post-NVP to SimSmoke projected smoking prevalence trends, one survey indicated an NVP-related relative reduction of 15% (15%) for males (females) age 15+, but 32% (52%) for those ages 15-24. The other survey indicated a 14% (19%) NVP-related smoking reduction for ages 18+, but 42% (53%) for persons ages 18-24. Much of the gain occurred since Canada relaxed NVP restrictions. NVP-related 2012-2020 smoking reductions yielded 100,000 smoking-attributable deaths averted from 2012 to 2060.
