Association between electronic cigarette use and smoking reduction in France
JAMA Jul 19, 2019
Gomajee R, et al. - Researchers investigated how the number of cigarettes smoked per day, smoking cessation among current smokers, and smoking relapse among former smokers is impacted by regular electronic cigarette (EC) use. In the CONSTANCES (Consultants des Centres d’Examens de Santé) cohort study, they included 5,400 smokers and 2,025 former smokers at baseline who quit smoking in 2010, the year in which ECs were introduced in France, or afterward. A significantly greater reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked per day and an increase in smoking cessation attempts was noted in correlation to regular (daily) electronic cigarette use among daily smokers in France. However, an increase in the rate of smoking relapse correlates to electronic cigarette use among former smokers.
