Is using e-cigarettes to quit smoking super effective? American Journal: Just a different way to become addicted
A study published in the Journal of America Medical Association (JAMA) on April 2, 2021 showed that although e-cigarettes are often used to quit smoking, in fact, if you smoke e-cigarettes for the purpose of quitting smoking, you may not be successful. And the addiction caused by e-cigarettes will continue to occur.
The research team found 30,191 adults, 1,988 of whom were e-cigarette users, and most were under the age of 44. They divided these e-cigarette users into “dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes”, “those who have quit cigarettes for more than 30 days” and “those who have never smoked cigarettes before”.
They found that “dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes” and “those who have never smoked cigarettes before” have a higher difficulty in quitting e-cigarettes than “those who have quit cigarettes for more than 30 days”; in other words, in order to quit smoking, at the same time Smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes will make it more difficult to quit smoking, and it will also be more difficult for people who are in poor health and have only smoked e-cigarettes to quit their e-cigarette addiction.
Although those who have quit smoking for more than 30 days and switched to e-cigarettes are more determined to quit smoking than the other two, it is an indisputable fact that e-cigarettes are no less harmful than cigarettes. Medically proven, e-cigarettes do not contain tar, but they still contain nicotine and other chemicals, which is just another way of harming the body. Furthermore, e-cigarettes have a variety of flavors and no odor issues, so they may be able to deceive your girlfriend or family. However, sexual dysfunction caused by smoking e-cigarettes and even an increased risk of cancer cannot deceive your body at all.
As long as it is “smoking”, the only thing that can help you quit smoking is willpower.
Since e-cigarettes and cigarettes can also harm the body, can smoking cessation be considered successful only if you completely stay away from all smoking products? Congratulations, you got it! Leaving aside cigarettes and e-cigarettes, even cigarettes that appear to be less lethal, such as cold cigarettes or light cigarettes, can still damage the lungs if smoked for a long time. It can be said that none of the “smoking generation” are good.
Quitting smoking is a process of fighting the addiction with willpower, and it will definitely be quite uncomfortable in the early stages. Doctors suggest that smoking cessation should be done step by step, and there is no need to be quick. Changing from smoking one pack a day to half a pack, or changing smoking from 5 days to 3 days a week are all first steps you can try. You can also ask your relatives and friends to remove the ashes. Hide items such as cylinders and lighters in places that are difficult to access to reduce the motivation for smoking; and seek their encouragement and support. I believe they will be happy to help you say cheers, after all, they have endured your second-hand smoke for long enough. But if you really can’t quit smoking completely after trying various methods, for the sake of your lungs, it is more practical to go to an outpatient clinic quickly and seek professional help!
