Can vaping really help you stop smoking?
Electronic cigarettes can help you reduce your tobacco consumption. In France, smokers who adopt electronic cigarettes reduce their tobacco consumption by an average of 9 cigarettes a day. In so doing, they reduce their exposure to tobacco's toxic substances. Although reduced, the risks associated with smoking are still present until complete cessation, which is the ultimate goal. A combination of different methods is most often recommended for quitting smoking.
