Vapes make smokers 61 per cent more likely to quit than patches or gum, major Cochrane review finds
Ali Anderson, Clearing The Air
Smokers using nicotine vapes were 61 per cent more likely to quit for at least six months than those using patches, gum or other nicotine replacement therapy.
Around eight to 10 people in every 100 quit with nicotine vapes, compared with six using nicotine replacement therapy.
The Cochrane review examined 80 randomised trials involving 29,861 people and rated the main finding as high-certainty evidence.
Serious adverse events were similar for vaping and nicotine replacement therapy, although longer-term research is still needed.
