*Although not a panacea, electronic cigarettes may represent a powerful harm reduction tool amongst subpopulations traditionally left behind in conventional smoking cessation movements. The argument in favor of studies of electronic cigarettes as a smoking cessation, harm reduction intervention in people with BHC [Behavioral Health Conditions] is multi-faceted. People with BHC have higher levels of smoking burdens and nicotine addiction compared to the general population, and they quit at lower rates. Unlike NRT, the nicotine delivery from an electronic cigarette mimics the nicotine pharmacokinetics of tobacco cigarettes unaccompanied by high levels of toxicants and carcinogens. | *Although not a panacea, electronic cigarettes may represent a powerful harm reduction tool amongst subpopulations traditionally left behind in conventional smoking cessation movements.

*This was the first prospective study to compare e-cigarette provision with assessments only to evaluate the appeal and impact of e-cigarettes on smoking behavior, carbon monoxide exposure, and nicotine dependence among smokers with SMI who had tried but were unable to quit and were not currently interested in cessation treatment. The finding that e-cigarette provision led to significant reductions in smoking and carbon monoxide without increasing nicotine dependence has implications for reducing harm not only among the millions of smokers with SMI [serious mental illness] who struggle to quit, but also for other vulnerable smokers who cannot achieve cessation. | |||
