* Results: A total of 5 RCTs (n=3,253) were included. Compared with conventional smoking cessation therapies, the use of nicotine e-cigarettes was associated with an increase in abstinence, defined by the most rigorous criterion of abstinence reported (RR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.29-2.44). Nicotine e-cigarettes also increased abstinence (defined by the most rigorous criterion) compared to non-nicotine e-cigarettes (RR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.13-2.15). The incidence of death or SAEs was low across all trials at maximum follow-up. | *Results: A total of 5 RCTs (n=3,253) were included.
