Study finds E-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit

141. Ok, so check out your list

"E Cigs as Smoking Cessation Devices: Does the Research Show That They Work"

Now, remember people are criticizing this as junk science and start peeling through these.

The first and fourth link is of a "study" from a web survey that recruited people on websites dedicated to using e-cigs and quitting smoking. The dual use group reported had a miraculous 46% quit rate compared to this study's 10.2%. Hmmmmm....

The second was another online study.

The third is not applicable.

The fourth is same as first (junky junk science with miracle result reported by anonymous internet users recruited from pro-e-cig websites).

The fifth isn't even concerning usage as a tool to quit smoking. Its implications as far as harm reduction may be important though.

Re the 6th, Im skipping the schizo sub population

The 7th has a sample size of 40 smokers total

The 8th is a lousy internet survey

The last is just an analysis.



Of all of those, the most optimistic in terms of "harm reduction" is the 5th. I think the overall issue is complicated and nuanced, and is going to take a lot more time to get a handle on. I do not think posting surveys on internet sites is going to work though.
