Sanford NN, et al. - Researchers analyzed contemporary patterns of conventional smoking and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use among patients with cancer in the United States. It has been reported that the susceptibility to active smoking-induced harms has been especially pronounced among individuals with cancer. Based on these findings, smoking cessation has been recognized as a crucial element of cancer survivorship.

• E-cigarettes are being advertised as a potentially safe and useful method of smoking cessation.
• However, the long-term health consequences of e-cigarette use are still not known.
