As November marks the start of tobacco-free month in France, many smokers decide to switch to electronic cigarettes, which could help quit smoking.
What if the electronic cigarette was an effective way to slow down or even stop smoking? Many people wonder about the electronic cigarette and its toxicity. As the journalist Jihane Benzina reminds us, present on the set of 19/20 Monday, November 1, E-cigarette is less toxic than conventional cigarettes. “Electronic cigarettes contain less than 1% of the toxic substances found in cigarette smoke […]. It is worth saying that we do not find some 7000 chemicals present in cigarette smoke, 70 of which are carcinogenic.“. This is due to the lack of incomplete combustion of the conventional cigarette.
Various studies have been carried out to determine whether electronic cigarettes are an effective method of stopping the consumption of conventional cigarettes. According to the Cochrane review 2021, “abstinence after six months was 11% in people who vaped“, explains Jihane Benzina. However, this figure is higher than those who used nicotine substitutes (6%) or without any help (4%).
