Study finds that vaping does not help quit smoking

A one-year study conducted by researchers at Georgia State University concluded that electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices are not effective in helping people quit smoking.

After sampling more than 1,000 American smokers, the study found that those who did not use a vaping device were twice as likely to quit smoking than those who used it.

Jordan Medley tried vaping in the past, but for him it did not work.

"It could help a little bit," said Medley. "It never helped me when I did it."

Medley believes that vaping actually has the opposite effect.

"I think it's smoking more people," said Medley.

But William Patrick, a former cigarette smoker, had a different experience.

"I can tell you from my personal point of view that I have been flying for 4 years," said Patrick. "I feel much better and I went from 24 milligrams of nicotine to 1 and a half."

Patrick says that because of his vape, he does not feel the urge to smoke so much.

"And I do not get as much vaping as I did," Patrick said. … now I take a few shots and I put it down because, I'm good. "

The researchers have advanced several reasons for their findings, including the sudden replacement of vaping devices that may not provide enough nicotine and the lack of information about vapers, which makes them confused about to the use of the product.
