E-cigarettes boost quitting success among smokers, study finds 研究發現，電子菸促進吸菸者戒菸成效

◎陳伃軒

Smokers trying to quit are 60 percent more likely to report success if they switch to e-cigarettes than if they use nicotine products like patches or gum, or just willpower, scientists said on Tuesday.

想戒煙的癮君子若改用電子菸，成功機率會多出60%，比使用如貼片或口香糖的尼古丁產品，甚或意志力來得有用，科學家週二說。

Presenting findings from a study of almost 6,000 smokers over five years, the researchers said the results suggest e-cigarettes could play an important role in reducing smoking rates and hence cutting tobacco-related deaths and illnesses.

研究展示針對近6000名吸菸者進行超過5年的發現，研究人員說，結論是電子菸在降低抽菸比例上能扮演要角，由此減少與香菸相關的死亡案例和疾病。

As well as causing lung cancer and other chronic respiratory diseases, tobacco smoking is also a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, the world’s number one killer.

除引發肺癌和其他慢性呼吸疾病，吸菸也是心血管疾病的主要因素，心血管疾病是全球第一名的殺手。
