More than six million smokers in Europe have quit smoking and more than nine million have reduced cigarette consumption by using vaping products. This study was published in the journal \u201cAddiction.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Scientists analyzed data from the 2014 Eurobarometer survey on smoking and the use of electronic cigarettes. The study findings revealed that 48.5 million Europeans have never tried electronic cigarettes, but 7.5 million are current users. Among those current users, 35.1% have quit smoking while an additional 32.2% have reduced smoking consumption. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese are probably the highest rates of smoking cessation and reduction ever observed in such a large population,\u201d said Dr. Konstantinos Farsalino, the principal investigator of the study. \u201cThe European Union data shows that the use of electronic cigarettes seems to have a positive impact on public health for two reasons: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-smoking cessation and reduction rates are observed, and <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electronic cigarettes use is largely confined to smokers (current and former) and minimal use by non-smokers.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a lot of controversy over the use of electronic cigarettes by non-smokers, but research is reassuring. There has been some \u201cexperimentation\u201d by non-smokers, but regular use is minimal. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><b>American Vaping Association<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for more than 7 years, tobacco activists have loudly proclaimed that there is no evidence that vapor products help smokers quit. As the evidence supporting the efficacy of vaping has piled up, these activists have continually pointed to skewed \u00a0studies to prove their faulty data. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0In 2014, a similar population-level survey was performed in the United States. \u00a0That study found that 2.4 million people\u00a0had quit smoking with vapor products. \u00a0In 2016, that number has probably risen past 3.5 or 4 million quitters in the U.S. alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about how you can quit smoking, by visiting a <a href=\"http:\/\/vaporgalleriapittsburgh.com\/\">local vape store<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This news comes from the most in-depth survey ever taken.
