Scientists of University College London have released a study revealing that smokers are 60% more likely to give up with e-cigarettes rather than using patches, gum or spray. The results could prompt the NHS to prescribe e-cigarettes to patients looking to give up.
These results further emphasise that the future of e-cigarettes is bright, whether the NHS prescribe them to patients or not. The study further suggested that cigarette smokers are more likely to give up using e-cigarettes than using nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum and spray) or quitting without any help at all. It also highlights that the similarity in shape and feel of e-cigarettes to regular cigarettes proves to be a major factor in the reasoning behind so many people using them to quit.
Professor Robert West leading the study claims that "it would be perfectly reasonable for the NHS to consider e-cigarettes as an option" as "the strongest evidence for their use lays in the failure of the NHS’ stop-smoking services". These comments help to strengthen the fact that an innovative method must be applied to achieve success for smokers and the NHS themselves.
MultiCIG, the UK’s premium e-cigarette product, has been manufactured to be the utmost quality e-cigarette in the UK, further enhancing smokers’ chances of switching to e-cigarettes. For those smokers wishing to move to a tobacco free future, the multiCIG range proves to be a great solution.
