Vaping Helps People Stop Smoking, Experts

  • September 14, 2016

Smoking harms your body and can devastate your health. The science on vaping is less clear and the body of research continues to expand. The most recent study from the University College London and Cancer Research UK casts a positive light on the potential of vaping as a smoking cessation tool. As reported by the Independent, "rather than undermining people’s efforts, using e-cigarettes improves the likelihood of someone quitting."

This study does not address the long term health risks of vaping and the danger posed by potentially toxic ingredients. Total abstinence from smoking is the ideal solution and tools such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can be used to achieve this end result. It is advisable to use caution when vaping and carefully consider the veracity of any study that shows it to be significantly less harmful than smoking.
