The study, which was published in the journal BMJ on Monday, examined the most recent 2017 to 2019 data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, which tracks tobacco use among Americans over time.
Proponents argue that this will help cigarette smokers successfully transition from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarettes, but a study conducted by the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health found fewer successful quit attempts when e-cigarettes were used as a smoking cessation aid, as well as no reduction in relapse rates among those who quit using e-cigarettes.
