Tobacco Control Experts Claim Vaping Products Are Harmful and Do Not Help Smokers Quit

Tobacco Control Experts Claim Vaping Products Are Harmful and Do Not Help Smokers Quit

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Tobacco Control Committee, an international group of respiratory doctors and scientists, recently issued a statement warning that tobacco harm reduction strategies that involve the use of alternatives like electronic cigarettes do not work and are based on undocumented claims.
Seemingly ignoring the dozens of studies that have come out in the last few years, the members of ERS claim that there is a lack of proof that Electronic Cigarette Wholesale can help smokers quit, arguing instead that there is growing evidence that such products are harmful to our health. As a result, they are asking policymakers and public health officials to reconsider programs that encourage smokers to switch to vaping as a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
Tobacco harm reduction strategies are based on incorrect assumptions that smokers cannot or will not quit smoking, but in reality, the majority of smokers want to quit and they dislike being nicotine dependent,” said Charlotta Pisinger, Chair of the ERS Tobacco Control Committee and clinical professor of tobacco control at Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital and University of Copenhagen, Denmark. “Most of the new products, including heated tobacco and e-cigarettes, are devices of nicotine inhalation, and therefore do not help smokers to beat their addiction to nicotine.”
“There is also a lack of evidence to support the claims that e-cigarettes are more effective than established smoking cessation medications or nicotine replacement therapies, but the few independent studies that have been published indicate that e-cig and heated tobacco device use undermines quit attempts outside of a clinical setting, and show that most people use alternative nicotine delivery products alongside conventional cigarettes, rather than as a replacement,” Pisinger added.
The statement put out by the ERS argues that there have been very few clinical trials to verify whether vaping products are more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapy, and that the studies conducted so far either show no real difference between e-cigarettes and NRTs, or suggest that vaping actually undermines smoking cessation. Citing a prospective study conducted in the UK, which showed that e-cigarette use is associated with an increased rate of attempts to quit smoking, but not smoking cessation, the authors claim that because vaping is promoted as a “safe” way to consume nicotine, it can actually discourage cessation.
“In conclusion, there is lack of evidence proving the effect of alternative nicotine delivery products as effective smoking cessation tools. In a real – life setting, use seems to undermine smoking cessation instead,” the statement reads.
ERS members also claim that a majority of vapers are actually dual-users (continue to smoke tobacco as well), which they say offers no benefit to their health, and may indeed cause more harm due to exposure to toxicants not previously designated as harmful, such as those in e-liquid flavorings.
