Evidence That Vaping Helps People Stop Smoking: Insights from the PATH Study

A new study released on August 1, 2024, offers compelling evidence that daily vaping significantly improves the likelihood of quitting smoking. The data is sourced from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, one of the largest national studies on tobacco behavior in the United States, initiated by the NIH and FDA in 2013.

Objective of the Study

The study, titled “E-cigarette Characteristics and Cigarette Cessation Among Adults Who Use E-cigarettes,” explores how different e-cigarette characteristics affect smoking cessation among U.S. adults who smoke daily and also vape. Specifically, it investigates:

  • Frequency of e-cigarette use

  • Device type (e.g., rechargeable, refillable)

  • Flavor preferences

  • Time period of use, as a reflection of the evolving vape market

    Methodology

    The study analyzed data from 1,985 adults aged 21 and older, all of whom smoked cigarettes daily and had used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. Participants were monitored across adjacent periods of the PATH Study, with details on:

    • Vaping frequency

    • Type and flavor of device used

    • Subsequent smoking behaviors and quit attempts

      Key Findings

      • Daily e-cigarette users had a 39.1% cessation rate, the highest among all groups.

      • Non-daily users had a cessation rate of 20.8%.

      • Device type and flavor did not significantly influence quit success.

        Conclusion

        “This cohort study’s nationally representative findings show that daily use of e-cigarettes, compared with non-daily use, is consistently associated with higher cigarette cessation and discontinuation rates among adults who attempted to quit.

        These findings align with prior research suggesting that higher nicotine delivery, particularly from newer-generation vapeMons devices using salt-based nicotine formulations, may increase cessation success.

        Health care professionals are now encouraged to discuss e-cigarettes as an option for adult patients who have not succeeded using FDA-approved cessation therapies.”

        Moreover, participants using e-cigarettes during the 2019–2021 period had higher quit success rates compared to those who vaped before 2016, likely due to improvements in device performance and nicotine delivery.
