Adult smokers who vape are more likely to quit using cigarettes -- but e-cigarettes also increase the risk of relapse in some former smokers, researchers found.
Adult smokers who vape are more likely to quit using cigarettes, according to a study released Monday. But e-cigarettes also increase the risk of relapse in some former smokers, the researchers found.
"This study is the first to point out that even if smokers may succeed in stopping smoking with the aid of electronic cigarettes, they still need to be monitored by doctors and health professionals to prevent a relapse in the long term," said Ramchandar Gomajee, the paper's lead author and a researcher at France's Pierre Louis Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health.
A study published this year in the Journal of the American Heart Association, for example, found that vaping and smoking were both linked to a similar increase in the risk of heart attacks. Using both, the study found, was riskier than using either alone.The research comes at a time of intense scrutiny for e-cigarette companies.On Friday, a US district judge placed a ten-month deadline on e-cigarette companies to apply to the US Food and Drug Administration for public health review.
