Do nicotine vapes help you quit? How to read UK-style harm reduction.
In quit-smoking debates abroad, the topic with the biggest temperature gap from Japan is nicotine vapes.
The UK positions vapes as quitting support
In the UK, there's a relatively strong line of argument positioning e-cigarettes as quit-smoking support for adult smokers. Cancer Research UK explains that e-cigarettes aren't risk-free, but are far less harmful than cigarettes. The reason is that e-cigarettes have no combusting tobacco leaf, so they have far fewer of the many carcinogens and toxicants found in cigarette smoke.
Cochrane's latest review also concludes that nicotine e-cigarettes may help more people quit than nicotine replacement therapy. That's evidence you can't ignore when considering vaping as quit-smoking support.
