The Misbegotten Crusade Against E-Cigarettes February 27 2015
By MICHAEL B. SIEGEL, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Feb. 24, 2015 6:48 p.m. ET 202 COMMENTS When electronic cigarettes came to the U.S. about 2007, I was skeptical. My assumption was they were a ploy by the tobacco industry to hook more people into smoking under the guise of being a safer product—the notorious low-tar cigarette scam all over again. But as I talked to many e-cigarette users, known as...New Evidence Shows Vaping Nicotine Is Less Addictive Than Smoking It February 13 2015
9 Feb 2015 — By Gary Cox , ECF / www.vaping.com Opponents of vaping have been fond of saying that e-cigarettes are just as addictive as combustible smokes, because they contain addictive nicotine. They have never seemed to feel the need to produce any evidence for this supposition. Nicotine is nicotine, right? And nicotine is addictive, right? Enough said. End of story. Wrong? It is becoming increasingly clear, indeed, now beyond...Why Anti-Smoking Groups Should Endorse Snus And E-Cigarettes December 08 2014
Sally Satel, Forbes, 12/01/2013 The good news is that the smoking rate has hit a new low. It is now just under 18% of all adults – but the goal of a totally smokeless society is elusive. Epidemiologists estimate that if the smoking rate continues to decline at the current pace, it will take 40 years to halve again, and cigarettes will claim millions more lives.

Jacques Le Houezec,The Daily Star, December 5, 2014 We have long known that people smoke for the nicotine, but die from the smoke. Indeed, the vast majority of cigarette-related diseases and deaths arise from the inhalation of tar particles and toxic gases, including carbon monoxide. Though nicotine replacement therapy has helped smokers quit, the cigarette habit remains pervasive in many countries. The use of nicotine in noncombustible forms such as...Success rates with nicotine personal vaporizers: a prospective 6-month pilot study of smokers not intending to quit November 10 2014
Electronic cigarettes (e-Cigs) are an attractive long-term alternative nicotine source to conventional cigarettes. Although they may assist smokers to remain abstinent during their quit attempt, studies using first-generation e-Cigs report low success rates.Second-generation devices (personal vaporisers - PVs) may result in much higher quit rates, but their efficacy and safety in smoking cessation and/or reduction in clinical trials is unreported. Method: We conducted a prospective proof-of-concept study monitoring modifications in smoking...University of Mass Boston Study: Smokers Who Use E-Cigarettes More Likely to Quit Tobacco October 31 2014

The...BBC News Health - E-cigarettes 'less harmful' than cigarettes August 01 2014
July 30, 2014, BBC News Researchers say national policies need to be made once all evidence is reviewed E-cigarettes are likely to be much less harmful than conventional cigarettes, an analysis of current scientific research suggests. Scientists argue replacing conventional cigarettes with electronic ones could reduce smoking-related deaths even though long-term effects are unknown. In the journal Addiction, researchers suggest e-cigarettes should face less stringent regulations than tobacco. But experts...E-Cigarettes Boost Quitting Success Among Smokers, 5 Year Study of 6,000 Smokers funded by UK Cancer Research May 22 2014
LONDON Tue May 20, 2014 9:53am EDT CREDIT: REUTERS/REGIS DUVIGNAU (Reuters) - Smokers trying to quit are 60 percent more likely to report success if they switch to e-cigarettes than if they use nicotine products like patches or gum, or just willpower, scientists said on Tuesday.
