A new study from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos compares nicotine delivery from first generation e-cigs and newer electronic cigarette devices.
A new study from Professor Riccardo Polosa and colleagues investigates the improvements seen in asthma-suffering smokers who either notably reduce or entirely quit smoking due to vaping.
A new longitudinal study published in Addictive Behaviors has provided evidence that “dual users” of both e-cigarettes and tobacco cigs generally reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke or quit entirely, as well as offering an insight into the behavior of us now-vaping ex-smokers.
A new study looking at data from over 26,500 European respondents has provided further evidence that non-smokers don’t try vaping very often at all.
Despite criticisms that vapers are simply continuing in their nicotine addiction, a new study has provided evidence that e-cigarette users are much less addicted to vaping than they once were to smoking. Not only do e-cigs drastically reduce harm, they curb addiction too.
A new study actually asked the questions that need to be asked to work out if e-cigarettes are a gateway to cigarettes, and (surprise, surprise) found no evidence of a gateway effect from vaping.
New study suggests that smokers who choose to quit by vaping are successful more often than self-selected cold turkey or NRT users, when no further support is provided.
A new study from UCL researchers takes a look at the facts behind the youth vaping "epidemic" declared in 2018. Looking at the data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) calls many anti-vaping claims into question.
A new study has attempted to settle the "e-liquid flavors attract teens" debate, and found that flavors don’t attract non-smoking teens to e-cigarettes. The results suggest that pre-existing interest in e-cigarettes is the most important factor: even widely-criticized flavors like bubblegum or cotton candy had no impact on non-smoking teens' interest in vaping, and actually appealed more to adults.
A new study being touted as evidence that vaping is a gateway to smoking really only shows that "teens who experiment continue to experiment," and actually provides a pretty solid blueprint for showing vaping is a gateway to anything you want. Here's how to design a study to "support" whatever gateway claim you like.
New research published in the FASEB Journal has found that smoking cigarettes disrupts the body’s internal clock in both the brain and lungs, leading to a decrease in overall activity and disturbance of the sleep cycle in the mice studied.
As ex-smokers, many vapers have actually tried nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) before. This encompasses things like gums and patches, which offer some nicotine in the hopes of minimizing withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit smoking.
A new survey of Minnesota-based middle and high school students has provided further evidence that the potential gateway to smoking is not a genuine concern, but, as is the pattern with such studies, it’s being presented as showing the exact opposite.
A new survey examines the differences between dedicated vapers (who don't smoke) and dual users (who switch between e-cigs and cigarettes).
Regulators’ decisions need to be based on sound science rather than unsupported assertions and media-driven hysteria, but we increasingly see more weight given to the latter when it comes to e-cigs.
A new systematic review on e-cigarettes, suggests that e-cigs should be banned in all public places and subject to tobacco-like marketing restrictions.
A new systematic review from Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos and Prof. Riccardo Polosa looks at 97 pieces of research on e-cigarettes and their ingredients, providing a comprehensive summary of the body of knowledge to date on e-cigs.
New data from ASH UK has shown that – much like in the US – the false belief that e-cigarettes are as dangerous as or more dangerous than smoking is becoming more common in both smokers and the general population. The implication is depressingly clear: frequent misleading statements about e-cigarettes are discouraging smokers from switching to the reduced harm alternative.
A new study from the UK has found that the number of 10 to 11 year olds who’d ever tried e-cigarettes was actually higher than the corresponding number for tobacco cigarettes, with the researchers arguing the finding "reinforces concerns" about a potential gateway to smoking.
A new pre-clinical study presented at a conference last month suggests that human lung cells with mutations associated with a high cancer risk exhibit more “cancerous behaviors” after being exposed to e-cigarette vapor.
