Over an eight-week study period, doctors supplied 349
patients with the E-cigarette, an electronic device that
delivers nicotine through vapour but without the tar,
carcinogens or smoke found in standard cigarettes.
All participating doctors agreed that e-cigarettes are
a significantly healthier alternative to conventional
smoking.
The study's outcome revealed that:
· Six per cent of smokers quit within two weeks
increasing to 45 percent within eight weeks.
· Fifty-two percent of all patients reported both
increased levels of energy and visible improvement in
their physical appearance.
· When asked what factors about smoking tobacco
cigarettes were the hardest to give up, 49 percent of
patients said nicotine cravings and 24 percent the habit
itself. Twenty seven percent of all participating smokers
said that a combination of all factors — the habit,
nicotine, the taste and feeling of smoking — made
it hard to quit.
When asked if an e-cigarette could act
as an agent to overcome all the physical and psychological
challenges to quit tobacco smoking, all doctors said 'yes'.
Dr Clifford Hulley, one of the participating
medical professionals in the survey, reported that "An
e-cigarette is the most effective treatment method on
the market for quitting tobacco smoking".
Prof Martin Veller, Head Vascular Surgeon
at the University of the Witwatersrand, who participated
in the project said that e-cigarettes have the appearance
of normal tobacco cigarettes but are non-toxic, and I
have advised my patients to consider e-cigarettes as an
alternative nicotine source."
Earlier this year Health New Zealand also
carried out trials into the safety of e-cigarettes. According
to the head of research Dr Murray Laugeson, the test found
that e-cigarettes were very safe relative to cigarettes,
and also safe in absolute terms on all measurements.
