SAN DIEGO—E-cigarettes don’t help smokers stay off cigarettes, despite U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance suggesting they can be an effective path to quitting, a report published Oct. 19 with research from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) found.
The CDC has previously suggested that smokers who are unable to quit smoking may benefit by switching to vaping e-cigarettes if they switch completely and are able to avoid relapsing to cigarette smoking.
