E-Zigarette ist besser für die Raucherentwöhnung als Nikotinpflaster (01.02.2015)

Am 01. Februar 2015 haben die Forscher Jean-François Etter und Thomas Eissenberg eine Studie mit dem Namen: Dependence levels in users of electronic cigarettes, nicotine gums and tobacco cigarettes veröffentlicht. In dieser Studie wird dargelegt, das das Abhängigkeitsrisiko von E-Zigaretten dem von Nikotinpflastern gleichzusetzen ist. Und dass Dampfer, welche ohne Nikotin dampfen, den Absprung von der psychischen Sucht leichter gelingt.

Results

Dependence ratings were slightly higher in users of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes than in users of nicotine-free e-cigarettes. In former smokers, long-term (>3 months) users of e-cigarettes were less dependent on e-cigarettes than long-term users of the nicotine gum were dependent on the gum. There were few differences in dependence ratings between short-term (≤3 months) users of gums or e-cigarettes. Dependence on e-cigarettes was generally lower in dual users than dependence on tobacco cigarettes in the two other samples of daily smokers.

Conclusions

Some e-cigarette users were dependent on nicotine-containing e-cigarettes, but these products were less addictive than tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes may be as or less addictive than nicotine gums, which themselves are not very addictive.
