“Since regulation passed in 2017 in almost all Australian states, “personal vaporisers”: e-cigarettes or vape pens, have been regulated as smoking products in Australia, including restrictions around sales, display and marketing, and use in non-smoking areas. However the research out of the University of Queensland has uncovered new evidence that e-cigarettes may be more effective in helping smokers quit than what they call “nicotine replacement therapies”, including products like nicotine patches and gum. “Our study found e-cigarettes are 50% more effective than nicotine replacement therapy, and more than 100% more effective than the placebo,” Dr Chan said in a statement accompanying the findings. Published in the journal Addictive Behaviours, the study assessed a total of 12,754 participants across 16 different smoking and vaping trials.”
