Vaping while continuing to smoke does not help you quit

study – After four to eight months, only 3% of “double consumers” managed to do without nicotine products, compared to 8% of exclusive vapers and 6% of traditional smokers

Most “dual users” tend to return to their regular cigarette habit. This is one of the conclusions of a study published Wednesday in the journal ERJ Open Researchwhich indicates that people who use an e-cigarette while continuing to smoke traditional cigarettes are less likely to be able to quit tobacco than those who only smoke or vape initially.

The authors reviewed existing research on e-cigarette and traditional cigarette users and combined the results. After four to eight months, among people practicing dual consumption, only 3% managed to do without nicotine products, compared to 8% of exclusive vapers and 6% of classic cigarette smokers.

“Most of those who combined vaping and traditional cigarettes returned to exclusive smoking”

After eight to sixteen months, only 5% of dual users are without nicotine, compared to 7% of traditional cigarette smokers and 19% of vapers. These abstinence levels are respectively, after 16 to 24 months, 13% for dual users, compared to 17% for smokers of classic cigarettes and 26% of exclusive vapers.
