Electronic cigarettes: more light, less heat needed
A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée entre avril et juin 2015 (38 études), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre l'utilisation de la cigarette électronique et l'arrêt du tabagisme chez les adultes fumeurs de cigarettes
Electronic nicotine delivery systems may not burn, but the controversy surrounding them certainly does. Barely a decade into their manufacture, distribution, and sale, these systems have become the most widespread new nicotine-containing product. Touted by clever marketing as a healthy alternative to cigarette smoking, e-cigarettes have rapidly captured a growing share of the tobacco-using market. In the USA, for example, use of e-cigarettes among adolescents tripled from 2013 to 2014.1 Whether e-cigarettes serve as a gateway to smoking by young people, or an aid to cessation for confirmed smokers, or perhaps both, is a focus of intense scrutiny.
