===2015: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378973/ E-Cigarettes and Smoking Cessation: Evidence from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis]=== | |||
*“This systematic review and meta-analyses assessed the findings of six studies which reported smoking cessation after using e-cigarettes. We found an association between nicotine-enriched e-cigarette use and smoking cessation, suggesting that the devices may be an effective alternative smoking cessation method. We also found that use of e-cigarettes was also associated with a reduction in the number of cigarettes used, suggesting they may also have a role in tobacco harm reduction programs. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive evidence to date on this issue, and while there are a number of important implications for further research, these findings provide timely information to inform regulatory strategies.” | |||
