According to foreign reports, Dr. Kenneth E. Warner, professor emeritus of the Department of Health Management and Policy at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said there is sufficient evidence to support the use of e-cigarettes as an aid to smoking cessation in adults.

E-cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are hand-held, battery-operated devices that heat a liquid containing propylene glycol and/or glycerin, flavoring compounds, and often nicotine, to produce an aerosol for the user to inhale or smoke.

“E-cigarettes are not a panacea to end the devastation caused by smoking, but they can contribute to this noble public health goal,” Warner said. For adults who want to quit smoking, e-cigarettes are an important, less harmful alternative to continuing to smoke.

The study was published in Nature Medicine by Kenner E. Warner, Ph.D., Department of Health Administration and Policy, University of Michigan School of Public Health, and Neal L. Benowitz, Department of Medicine, University of California, Anna, and McNeill, National Addiction Center, King’s College London, and Nancy A. Rigotti of the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston studies the health effects of vaping and reviews the different countries that regulate or support vaping.

Each of the authors contributed to a large number of studies and conducted a comprehensive review of e-cigarettes – their potential to improve smoking cessation in adults, their health consequences, and the clinical care adopted by governments and medical institutions internationally regarding the role of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation evidence. quit smoking. Professor Warner’s research focuses on determining the impact of tobacco control policies, tobacco harm reduction, the use of reduced-risk nicotine delivery products as an alternative to smoking cigarettes and regulatory policies related to e-cigarettes, and the potential benefits and ability to help adults quit smoking.

The study further suggests that the promotion of acceptance of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool may depend on continued efforts to reduce exposure and use of these products among young people who have never smoked. These two goals can and should co-exist.

The study acknowledges the good success rates for smoking cessation in the UK and US. E-cigarettes are considered a more effective alternative compared to other products on the market. An independent review commissioned by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and the UK Department of Health and Social Care has concluded that e-cigarettes are less harmful than traditional cigarettes.

Government agencies in the United States and Canada have acknowledged the potential benefits of vaping, health experts and inspectors say. In contrast, government health agencies and medical societies in the UK and New Zealand openly support and promote e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool. The study even identified public education campaigns to promote smoking cessation.

“We believe that governments, medical professional groups, and individual healthcare professionals in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia should give more consideration to the potential of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation,” Warner said.

In the Philippines, tobacco control is considered a public health priority and a key development issue affecting overall health and well-being.

“Globally, the growing scientific evidence supporting vaping and the growing number of pro-vaping medical experts can no longer be ignored. Today, there are 17.3 million smokers in the Philippines. As a physician, I have Responsibility encourages them to look for alternatives proven to be safer than traditional cigarettes.”
