JAKARTA – Vaping or smoking with electric cigarettes (e-cigar) is considered the most powerful way to help people reduce their smoking habits. However, a study published by PLoS One actually gives the opposite result.
In this study, researchers examined data from the GfK KnowledgePanel survey company. They examined data from more than 1,200 smokers surveyed in August-September 2015 and then tracked their smoking status.
Of the 1,000 people who remained active in the KnowledgePanel a year later, about 850 people responded to a follow-up survey. Of this figure, 30% at the beginning of the survey claimed to smoke cigarettes and vape. But, a year later, 90% said they were still smoking. People who smoke only, almost twice quit at all.
According to the study, it is indicated that people who smoke and talk with the nape of the neck have difficulty quitting smoking only those who smoke only. The lowest chance of success for those who use the vape remains true even though people say they are switching to the electric cigarette as a way to quit smoking. On average, smokers and non-smokers still consumed the same number of cigarettes smoked as vape users a year later.
"Any smoker will say that it is very difficult to quit smoking, but this difficult nicotine addiction can not explain why smokers who also use electric cigarettes are harder to stop than those who do not use electric cigarettes, but these two users are more excited about quitting, "says Scott Weaver, epidemiologist at Georgia State University of Public Health, Gizmodo.
A number Previous studies indicate that replacing regular cigarettes with vape can help reduce smoking habits. "According to Weaver, this study may be outdated or not represent how people's habits actually change with the tool.
"In reality, the landscape of electric cigarette products varies widely and the communication about health effects and their use to suppress smoking ism is inconsistent. Most of these products do not match the nicotine profiles in cigarettes. Many smokers who try to smoke electric cigarettes think that this tool is not enough to suppress their addiction to nicotine and either they give up on the regular cigarette, or they continue to smoke and empty themselves ", a- he says.
