*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.

*Spontaneous e-cigarette use during cessation treatment was common among smokers with mental illness and was not associated with positive or negative treatment outcomes. The high rate of naturalistic e-cigarette use in this group suggests that e-cigarettes are an appealing strategy to obtain nicotine during cessation treatment that could be harnessed as a smoking cessation tool or for harm reduction.
