E-Cigarettes May Be Better Than Nicotine Gum for Quitting Smoking

People who used electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, to help them stop smoking were more likely to have quit combustible cigarettes at 6 months than those who used nicotine chewing gum, according to data from a randomized clinical trial. But the majority of the e-cigarettes group was still vaping at 6 months, while the groups using the 2 other smoking cessation methods —nicotine chewing gum and varenicline, a medication marketed as Chantix—were no longer using those tools.
