The Rest of the Story

It's not clear to me why researchers who oppose electronic cigarettes are so anxious to condemn these products that they are willing to use inappropriate research designs to fulfill such an aim.

The AHA, while recognizing the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for cessation, does not recommend e-cigarettes as a quitting method for someone who is trying to kick the habit for the first time. However, for a person who has tried to quit and failed before, e-cigarettes can be a highly effective cessation method. The AHA policy cites a just this August in which, “A large cross-sectional study showed that smokers who wanted to quit without professional help were significantly more likely to report abstinence using e-cigarettes than with traditional cessation aids or going ‘cold turkey.’”

The study enrolled 1,074 patients with cancer who were smokers and were therefore referred to a tobacco treatment program at a comprehensive cancer center during the years 2012 and 2013. Smoking status, nicotine dependence, and e-cigarette use was assessed at baseline and the patients were followed for six-month. The primary outcome was smoking cessation, measured as seven-day abstinence at follow-up.
