In reply to the discussion: Study finds E-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit [View all]Yo_Mama
(8,303 posts)Because there are different nicotine levels including tons of liquids that have none, and the people I have known who quit completely first actually did it first by switching from cigs to the vaping, and then by cutting the nicotine levels in their e-liquid(I think that's the right term).
Oddly enough, many of them don't quit vaping. They like it, and they like the other liquids more, so they keep vaping, but they are using no nicotine.
My impression is that many people like the e-cigs more because they can be more precise about their preferred nicotine levels, and somehow that helps them off the nicotine. It's kind of a mystery to me, but that's as close as I can come.
Also, gum and patches and so forth are also nicotine delivery systems, but they are widely accepted as quitting aids. My impression is that for many people, e-cigs are a more effective replacement system.
Finally, we accept that people have quit smoking even if they remain nicotine gum users, and we accept that it is a healthier alternative.
