近日，发表在英国医学杂志British Medical Journal (BMJ)上的一项医学研究表明：转向电子烟的烟民几乎不可能再重新去抽传统香烟。此项研究极大的证实了电子烟可以帮助烟民提高戒烟的成功率。
Medical Study: Smoker Switching To E-Cigarettes Unlikely To Go Back
医学研究表明：转向电子烟的烟民几乎不可能再重新去抽传统香烟。
Smokers who successfully quit using e-cigarettes are far less likely to relapse and pick up tobacco, according to a new study.
Published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), the study examined vapers– smokers and those who do both for a period of two years and wanted to see how effective e-cigarettes were in keeping people off cigarettes.
发表在英国医学杂志上的研究，通过调查拥有两年烟龄的Vapers、Smokers以及电子烟香烟两者都有用的烟民，以此来了解电子烟在帮助人们戒烟的过程中到底能发挥多大的作用。
“Of the e-cigarette users, 61.1 percent remained abstinent from tobacco (while 33.1 percent and 36.0 percent of tobacco-only smokers and dual users achieved tobacco abstinence),” the study said. “The rate (18.8 percent) of stopping use of either product (tobacco and/or e-cigarettes) was not higher for e-cigarette users compared with tobacco smokers or dual users.”
研究表明，61.1%的电子烟使用者可以完全戒掉香烟 ，而烟草使用者及电子烟香烟两者都有在用的烟民戒掉香烟的概率仅为33.1%和36.0%。
The study concludes that using e-cigarettes alone may prevent smokers from drifting back to cigarettes.
该项研究总结，只使用电子烟可以使烟民不再想去抽传统香烟。
“This study is useful for limited purposes,” said Siegel. “It does not provide inforMATion on the magnitude of the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation because it does not compare smokers who are randomized to receive e-cigarettes vs. smokers who are randomized to an alternative cessation approach (or to usual care).
“What it does demonstrate is that the rate of recidivism back to cigarette smoking is relatively low AMOng vapers. In other words, if a person is successful in quitting smoking using e-cigarettes, there is a very good chance that he or she will be able to maintain their status as an ex-smoker. Moreover, the chances of a vaper being a smoker two years later are much lower than the chances of a smoker continuing to smoke two years later.”
The big public health take away for Siegel is that if a smoker successfully switches from smoking to vaping, there is a very strong chance they will remain an ex-smoker.
最后，该项研究的负责人Siegel表明，如果一个烟民可以成功的从抽传统香烟转向电子烟，那么他就有很强的可能性完全戒掉香烟成为一个ex-smoker。
