vaping triples quit rate of patch
Controlled clinical trials are the gold standard of science. In 2014, a group of smokers who didn’t want to quit smoking were given simple vapes and eliquid. The one’s today are even more effective. 21% of the smokers quit smoking; compare that to 6% success with patches.

Vaping increases quitting smoking by 300%
Quitting smoking means detoxing off 1000’s of chemicals, some are addictive. A variety of eliquid flavours helps smokers find a new pleasure for the nicotine. 42% of smokers who vaped for 2 years quit smoking, vs only 15% of those who didn’t use a vape.
Smokers failed 9 times to quit
Vaping satisfies the nicotine addiction & smoking behaviour PLUS vaping offers thousands of flavours to help the smoker replace the taste of smoke with something better. That is why it is more effective than sticking a patch to your arm or chewing gum..
Main reason for vaping
This survey included youth as well as adults. You can clearly see that the MAIN reason for vaping is smokers seeking to quit. Flavours are not the main reason but vaping wouldn’t work if it didn’t offer smokers a more pleasurable and novel experience than smoking.
Types of people that vape
1% of people that never smoked vape. 15% of smokers and 13% of ex-smokers vape. The data illustrates that SMOKERS are vaping to either quit smoking or stay quit. The focus needs to switch to harm reduction and away from the 1%.
Satisfies the ritualistic behaviour
The ritual: bringing the smoke to the mouth; tasting the drag; sensations in the throat & lungs on a big inhale; a visible exhale & a nicotine hit to the brain. A pack-a-day smoker does this 87,600 times a year. Vaping uniquely satisfies that ritual.
Vaping is NRT only better
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is safe, because nicotine is has very few side effects. Smokers are experts at self dosing nicotine through inhalation. Eliquid is nicotine in a rather benign base & allows the smoker to continue the same routine to switch..
4 stages of quitting with a vape

The anti-harm reduction advocates say that vaping is ineffective for quitting smoking because many dual use for a while. Dual users significantly reduce the toxins they inhale because of the 60-80% drop in how many cigarettes they smoke. Harm REDUCTION!
Youth and smoking uptake
Smoke vs vapor and addiction
