Do e-cigarettes actually work?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 157 points – 1 years ago

I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn't seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit... but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

Physicians who spread fear about vaping are killing people.

A major point of that article is that the ~~health drafts~~ deaths from vaping in the US are caused by substances that are banned from the UK. So maybe doctors in the UK might be spreading false info, but it sounds like doctors in the US might have a point!

That's not true at all. There was one US cannabis outlet using vitamin E acetate as a diluent in error. It's lethal when heated and not a standard component of any e-cigarette anywhere at all.

It may not be true at all, but it's in the source that you posted.
