Nicotine E-Cigarettes Proven More Effective Than Traditional NRT for Quitting Smoking, Cochrane Review Confirms

A recent Cochrane review found strong evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches and gums, in helping people quit smoking.

The study concludes that while e-cigarettes are not risk-free, they pose much lower risks than smoking and can be an effective tool for smoking cessation.
