Are E-Cigarettes a Healthy Way to Quit Smoking?

-Some former smokers say “vaping” e-cigs saved them, but critics argue e-cigarettes are just another way to get people hooked.

Some former smokers say “vaping” e-cigs saved them, but critics argue e-cigarettes are just another way to get people hooked.

In a Healthline News report, we highlighted a small study that showed people who smoke e-cigarettes exhale less carbon monoxide. That lends credence to a theory widely held by vapers that damage to the lungs is greatly reduced because e-cigs produce vapor instead of smoke. Other scientists counter that chemicals in e-cig “e-liquid,” or “juice,” could be just as harmful.

The science on whether e-cigs help people quit nicotine for good is just as mixed.

In addition, a study was recently published that concluded teens who smoke e-cigarettes are more likely to smoke regular cigarettes.

What do the experts say?

Dimitris Agrafiotis does not buy for a second that e-cigarettes are as bad for you as the regular kind.

He also doesn’t appreciate ideas to tax the devices, which smokers use to enjoy nicotine and the ritual of the habit through vapor instead of smoke.
