Do e-cigarettes help people to stop smoking?

There's growing evidence from around the world that e-cigarettes can help people stop smoking. In England, a study that looked at E-Cigarette use and smoking cessation across the population estimated that e-cigarettes helped an additional 18,000 people in England in 2015 to quit for the long term.

Research shows the best way to stop smoking is through stop smoking services using a combination of counseling and prescription medication. We now have evidence that e-cigarettes combined with the behavioral support from stop smoking services are also effective in helping people to stop smoking.

Bauld says that smoking is still the largest preventable cause of cancer and is linked to 15 different types.

So, if e-cigarettes can provide support for individuals as an aid to smoking cessation, then that's of interest to cancer researchers."

But there's still a lot we need to find out. For example, there's limited research into the role that different types of devices, nicotine concentrations and flavors play in helping people to stop smoking.

Although smoking rates in the UK continue to fall, levels in the most deprived populations are still much higher than in the least deprived, so experts are especially interested in whether e-cigarettes could help reduce this inequality. Recent research has suggested that people from lower socioeconomic groups might be more likely to use e-cigarettes, but it's not yet clear whether this means e-cigarettes are improving smoking cessation rates in these communities.
