New research shows that a smoker who turns to vaping in hopes of kicking the habit for good faces a high risk of relapse. While many people might try to wean themselves off of traditional cigarettes by using an e-cigarette like a Juul, they are nearly four times more likely to smoke again than those who quit without vaping, according to Health Day.
Some people falsely believe that e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes because they don’t contain the same dangerous ingredients. Nevertheless, research shows that vaping is far from healthy and can lead to major lung problems. Furthermore, vaping products still contain nicotine, which is what keeps the user hooked.
Dr. Wilson Compton, deputy director of the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, was the main researcher in this latest study. He explained that if one really wants to beat their addiction for good, it is best to stay away from nicotine in all forms.
