Abstract
Despite their known health consequences, many Americans and Vermonters use cigarettes. Current data suggest that e-cigarettes, or vapes, although still with risks, are much safer than traditional combustible cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes to quit smoking cigarettes has grown in popularity, however, due to their ease of use and higher concentration of nicotine, some people who try to quit smoking by using e-cigarettes end up more dependent on nicotine. The goal of this project was to explore how providers can guide individuals attempting to quit smoking via e-cigarette use to avoid increased nicotine dependence with the goal of people eventually stopping e-cigarette use over time.
