· Studies based on scientific facts prove that the use of e-cigarettes is less harmful  · Smoking cessation rates are higher among people prone to e-cigarettes · The results are derived from epidemiological studies and market surveys In Albania, the use of electronic cigarettes is experiencing significant growth, leading to a high degree of replacement of traditional cigarettes. Many users are replacing regular cigarettes with electronic cigarettes to minimize potential harm. Some recent studies by well-known academics in the US and England shed more light on users.
 

 

 

"E-cigarettes can contribute significantly to harm reduction, towards the noble goal of increasing the number of adults who quit smoking."
 
In this regard, it is important to emphasize "the difference between electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products, where the latter have been proven to bring a lower risk in use.
 
This is the conclusion of a study analysis published in the journal Nature Medicine, signed by Kenneth E. Warner (University of Michigan), Neal L. Benowitz (University of California, San Francisco), Ann McNeill (King's College London) and Nancy Rigotti ( Harvard Medical School).
 
The authors report on studies conducted in both the United Kingdom and the United States that "e-cigarette use has increased smoking cessation rates by 10-15%," while the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine in the US and independent research commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care in England concluded "that the use of e-cigarettes is much less harmful than smoking". Even a Cochrane review concluded that
 
" it was clear that quit rates were higher among people exposed to nicotine alternatives (e-cigarettes) than among those exposed to nicotine replacement therapy."
 
Similar results are obtained from epidemiological studies and market surveys according to which, when the sale and use of e-cigarettes increases, the sales of traditional cigarettes decrease and vice versa.
