E-cigarettes may help smokers quit, study finds according to : San Diego Union Tribune

The quit rate remained virtually the same for those who didn't try e-cigarettes. People who had tried e-cigarettes in the previous 12 months were significantly more likely to have quit smoking traditional cigarettes than in previous years. About two-thirds of e-cigarette users tried to quit smoking, compared with 40 percent of non-users, the new report found. "Quitting smoking is very hard, and that's why you see the quit rate hover around 4.4 percent." Zhu said.

E-cigarettes may help smokers quit after all

They found that 65 percent of smokers who used e-cigarettes attempted to quit, while only 40 percent of those not using the devices tried to quit smoking. Now, a new study suggesting that e-cigarettes may, indeed, help smokers stub out their habit may spark further discussion. The study also found that around 8 percent of smokers who used e-cigarettes who tried to quit were successful, compared to only around 5 percent of nonusers. Glantz, in fact, previously authored a study finding that e-cigarettes may actually stymie efforts to quit smoking. But, he added, the findings strengthen the case for the potential benefits of these devices for smokers trying to quit.
