Studie belegt: Nikotinkaugummi im Langzeittest schlechter als E-Zigarette

Die Forscher Seung-Hwa Lee, Sang-Hyun Ahn and Yoo-Seock Cheong haben am im April 2019 die Studie mit dem Namen: Effect of Electronic Cigarettes on Smoking Reduction and Cessation in Korean Male Smokers: A Randomized Controlled Study veröffentlicht. In dieser Studie wurde nachgewiesen das die Langzeitwirkung des Rauchstopps mittels der E-Zigarette deutlich besser ist, als die in der Gruppe, die mit Nikotinkaugummi den Rauchstopp versucht hat.

Results:

There were no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness-related parameters of smoking cessation, such as 9- to 12-week, 9- to 24-week, and 12- and 24-week point prevalence of abstinence, between the 2 groups. However, although the reduction in cigarette smoking was similar, the proportion of subjects who showed smoking reduction at 24 weeks was higher in the e-cigarette group than the nicotine gum group. In addition, adverse events were significantly less frequent in the e-cigarette group than in the nicotine gum group.

Conclusions:

In our study, the effect of e-cigarettes on smoking cessation was similar compared with that of nicotine gum, a well-documented NRT. In addition, e-cigarettes were well tolerated by the study population. Therefore, the use of e-cigarettes as an NRT may be considered for smoking-cessation purposes. A large-scale prospective randomized controlled trial is necessary to clarify our results.
