More than half of adults in the U.S who successfully quit smoking used vapes or other nicotine products to kick the deadly habit, a new study has found. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The research, preprinted in science journal BMJ Yale, shows that 2.9 million U.S. adults stopped smoking for six months or longer from 2021 through 2022.<\/p>\n

In the same period, 13.1 million tried to stop but went back to smoking. <\/p>\n

Among those who successfully quit, 53.9 per cent (1.5 million U.S adults) said they primarily used vapes alone or in combination with other methods.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The least commonly reported quitting methods used were non-nicotine, non-prescription drug methods (including a quit line, counselling or clinic, class, or group). This equated to just 6.3 per cent or 0.2 million US adults.<\/p>\n

Vapes most popular exclusive quitting method <\/strong><\/p>\n

The most commonly reported exclusive method selected was vapes at 26 per cent (0.7 million US adults). Other nicotine-based methods cited include nicotine patches, gum and nasal spray.<\/p>\n

The report<\/a>, which had not yet been peer reviewed, found that slightly more men stopped smoking than women (1.6 million vs 1.3 million); most were white adults, aged younger than 55 years and identified as straight. <\/p>\n

It says its results support evidence that noncombustible nicotine products such as vapes are \u201ca promising foundation for a comprehensive approach to tobacco harm reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study concludes: \u201cMethods containing nicotine, primarily e-cigarettes, were the most commonly-reported methods that were explicitly surveyed. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis may provide support for [Food and Drug Administration] FDA\u2019s \u201cnicotine-focused framework for public health\u201d, which describes noncombustible nicotine products as \u201ca promising foundation for a comprehensive approach to tobacco harm reduction,\u201d FDA\u2019s efforts to authorise certain e-cigarette products as \u201cappropriate for the protection of public health,\u201d and CDC\u2019s statement that \u201c[e]-cigarettes have the potential to benefit adults who smoke \u2026 if used as a complete substitute for regular cigarettes,\u201d while necessarily preventing access to nicotine products by nonsmoking subpopulations, such as adolescents.<\/p>\n

It adds: \u201cIn conclusion, efforts to reduce smoking among US adults should focus on the subpopulations that stopped smoking the least and encourage use of evidence-based methods.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The study used nationally representative Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey data to identify which subpopulations of US adults had stopped smoking cigarettes for six months or longer in the previous year and the methods they used.<\/p>\n
