Description:
The global prevalence of tobacco use has significantly decreased over the years, with projections indicating further decline. However, the rise of new nicotine products suggests that nicotine addiction will remain a major public health issue. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are increasingly recognized as potential tools for smoking cessation and harm reduction. This review evaluates the safety and effectiveness of e-cigarettes both as standalone treatments and in combination with other therapies, such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), varenicline, cytisine, and behavioral approaches. A comprehensive analysis of studies published over the past decade, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials, shows that e-cigarettes can enhance smoking cessation rates and reduce tobacco-related harm. They exhibit comparable short-term efficacy to traditional treatments, with promising results in alleviating withdrawal symptoms and lowering smoking rates. However, the long-term safety and effectiveness of combining e-cigarettes with other therapies remain uncertain and require further investigation. Despite their potential benefits, e-cigarettes pose significant safety concerns, underscoring the need for ongoing research to refine cessation strategies and ensure their safe, long-term use. Rigorous evaluation and regulatory oversight are essential to optimize e-cigarettes' role in reducing tobacco harm.
