To be effective in smoking cessation, the electronic cigarette has need of regularity. It is this that seems to suggest a study conducted by the university of Georgetown (Usa). Published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research, it shows that the chances of success are higher among smokers who turn to the vape at least five days in the month.

This estimate is the result of a survey of 24 500 smokers, former or current. All were interviewed about their habits vis-à-vis tobacco, but also of the electronic cigarette. And the device can be considered as a tool to aid the cessation of smoking. But under certain conditions.

Vape a lot

“Attempts to stop smoking and their success, are directly related to the number of days of use of the e-cigarette, summarizes David Levy, lead author of the study. The chances of success of the judgment are increased by 10 % for each day of additional use. “

In fact, smokers who used an episodic of vapoteuse have less of a chance of succeeding in their withdrawal. Conversely, those who turn regularly to this device are more successful. To do this, they had to have used at least five times in the month that preceded the survey. And the number of use plays a role in the withdrawal.

A quarter of smokers who have vapoté 5 to 9 months during this period have succeeded to stop smoking. In the larger users, who vapotent 25 to 30 times in the world, the researchers recorded a third success.
