The effectiveness of vapes in assisting smoking cessation has been confirmed in the United States. A recent study published in the authoritative medical journal “Nicotine Tobacco Research” shows that vapes have significantly improved the success rate of quitting smoking among American smokers from 2018 to 2021. More and more American smokers are using vapes. Successfully quit smoking with the help of cigarettes.
The study was led by the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. The survey spanned eight years and was nationally representative. Based on the World Health Organization’s official website’s definition of quitting tobacco – Quitting tobacco, researchers divided smokers into two groups according to “whether they use vapes to quit smoking” and found that between 2013 and 2016, the two groups’ quitting There was no difference in the success rate, but after 2018, the success rate of quitting smoking in the vape group was significantly higher.
Data shows that between 2018 and 2021, the success rate of smokers using vapes to quit smoking was 30.9%, while the success rate of smokers who did not use vapes was only 20%. “Our study shows that the role of vapes has changed for American smokers who want to quit smoking,” said study first author Karin Kasza, a professor at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Why is the turning point 2018? Karin Kasza believes that first, the number of vape users in the United States has increased significantly since 2018; second, from 2018 to 2021, the public health department has carried out a series of legal regulations on the vape market. In addition, the continuous increase of relevant scientific evidence has also allowed more smokers to actively switch to vapes and consciously use vapes to quit smoking.
In the paper, the author mentioned the latest research results of Cochrane, an authoritative international medical organization. Its paper published in 2024 stated that there is high-certainty evidence that vapes can help smokers quit smoking and are more effective than nicotine replacement therapy commonly used in smoking cessation clinics. “Using vapes to assist smoking cessation is more likely to be successful and has no serious adverse effects. We believe this result will not be easily changed.” said Nicola Lindson, head of the Oxford University Tobacco Addiction Group (OxTAG).
According to public data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 2020 to 2021, the use rate of vapes in the United States increased from 3.7% to 4.5%, while the use rate of cigarettes in the United States dropped from 12.5% to 11.5%. Thanks to the effective role of vapes in assisting smoking cessation, the adult smoking rate in the United States (number of cigarette users/total number of people * 100%) has dropped to the lowest point in the past 60 years.
The American medical community’s attitude toward vapes is also changing. “We have seen a lot of authoritative evidence confirming that vapes can be used to quit smoking and reduce harm. These contents have brought an opportunity for US public health agencies to re-examine vapes, that is, from ‘can vapes quit smoking’ to ‘how Let vapes better help smokers quit smoking,” said Nancy Rigotti, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
“vapes have improved the success rate of quitting smoking among American smokers in recent years. This change deserves attention. We should constantly update relevant research to provide the latest data support for public health department decision-making.” The author wrote in the paper.
As a company focusing on the R&D and manufacturing of vapes, Veehoo vapes can see that the results of this research have brought new opportunities to it. Research shows that vapes are more effective than commonly used nicotine replacement therapy in assisting smoking cessation, which makes more and more smokers choose to use vapes to quit smoking. As a well-known vape manufacturer, Veehoo vapes can further launch high-quality, regulatory-compliant products to meet this demand.
However, Veehoo vapes also need to face some challenges. Although vapes have achieved positive results in assisting smoking cessation, some controversies and doubts still exist. Therefore, companies need to continue to pay attention to scientific research and constantly update relevant data to provide the latest support for decision-making by public health departments.
In short, the latest research data confirms the effectiveness of vapes in assisting smoking cessation and brings new opportunities to Veehoo vapes. The company can take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen cooperation with relevant departments and launch high-quality products to meet the needs of more and more smokers for vapes. At the same time, companies should continue to pay attention to scientific research and provide public health departments with the latest data support to promote the development of vapes in the fields of harm reduction and smoking cessation.
