CAN I STOP SMOKING WITH AN E-CIGARETTE?

No. However, it is a very good option to use nicotine replacement patches and switch to e-smoking for the habit.

Although evidence is still lacking so far on whether and to what extent electric cigarettes can help with smoking cessation in a sustainable way, but a majority of users cite quitting or preventing relapse and reducing smoking cravings and withdrawal symptoms as their reason for using e-cigarettes.

Indeed, e-cigarette use appears to curb smoking cravings and withdrawal symptoms after smoking cessation.

This is also true for the use of liquids that do not contain nicotine.

Consumers justify this subjectively perceived relief by referring to the continued authenticity of the imitated smoking experience, habit maintenance, communion with like-minded people, and identification with the "vaping" scene.
