=== 2023: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37015170/ Qualitative exploration of longer versus shorter quit attempts among adults using E-Cigarettes for combustible cigarette cessation.] ===
* As so often happens, researchers get closer to understanding how vaping works by.... asking vapers.  This qualitative work rings true.
* The authors look into half-hearted or determined quit attempts based on the duration of the quit attempt and draw some useful insights.
* Six themes common across groups as well as themes more often discussed by people with shorter quit attempts are described. Most participants discussed using e-cigarette devices and flavors to either replace sensations similar to smoking combustible cigarettes (e.g., inhaling from a cylindrical object) or to distract themselves from cravings to smoke. [So giving them access only to tobacco flavours may backfire. ed.]
* E-cigarettes also were described by the majority of participants as useful for smoking cessation because they approximate combustible cigarette use, potentially reduce health-related harms, save money, and lead to reduced social stigma compared to smoking cigarettes.
* Those who reported shorter duration quit attempts shared e-cigarette product challenges, health concerns, needs for support. Study findings demonstrate the need for additional research on the factors that may increase the likelihood that using e-cigarettes will result in longer and sustained e-cigarette-based quit attempts among adults. [We see clues about where it doesn't work - "health concerns" - Such concerns as promoted incorrectly, or to the wrong audience by FDA etc. ed.]
