“Electronic cigarettes have helped almost nine out of ten smokers quit tobacco completely” the Metro reports. The claim is based on the results of an online survey on e-cigarette use and their effects on tobacco consumption.
The survey’s participants were mainly recruited via the websites of two leading manufactures of e-cigarettes.
The survey responses report an overall positive experience of e-cigarettes, for example:


[h=2][/h][h=3]What is 'vaping'?[/h]Smoking an e-cigarette is called 'vaping' because the device produces a vapour containing nicotine, which is inhaled by the user.



  • 75% of the sample said it had been several weeks or months since their last cigarette
  • 91% said that use of the e-cigarette had ‘substantially decreased’ their craving for tobacco cigarettes
  • 70% didn’t have as much of an urge to smoke
 
Fantastic study. Sending this to my naysayer relatives and colleagues as we speak.
 
The more peer-reviewed stuff like this, the better :D
