Study finds E-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit

[SirRevolutionary]

134. The link you posted is a survey on NRTs

in use as smoking cessation devices and their success in quitting by California smokers of analog cigarettes through the years between 1992-1999. That was well before ecigs were introduced and became popular in the USA. It states:

Objective
To examine trends in smoking cessation, pharmaceutical cessation aid use,
and success in cessation in the general California population.
Design, Setting, and Participants
The large population-based California To-
bacco Surveys of 1992, 1996, and 1999, including 5247 (71.3% response rate), 9725
(72.9% response rate), and 6412 (68.4% response rate) respondents, respectively.

Specifically of interest, read the "E Cigs as Smoking Cessation Devices: Does the Research Show That They Work?" section and you'll find actual recent studies and findings on the topic of whether ecigs get people to quit and stay cigarette free.

The simple reason, and my assertion, is that NRTs have not in the past addressed a smoker's true addiction: the act of smoking. Ecigs do, they allow one to feel like they're smoking when in fact they are doing nothing of the sort. That's why they currently are/will continue to be the most successful NRT (if you want to term them as such) we have in my opinion, and those studies help to back up my assertion.

I'm hoping that giving people the facts will not only enable them to decide but make better scientific conclusions in the end.
