Surgeon General Jerome Adams urged U.S. consumers to try one of the many FDA-approved smoking cessation products instead of vaping because there isn't 'sufficient evidence' it works.
Stopping smoking at any age could add a decade to your life, but don't bother quitting with e-cigarettes — there's not enough evidence it works, the Surgeon General says.
"People don't realize can help with mental health outcomes," said Adams."Whether you are 25, 55 or 85, there are still benefits to be gained."Even those who favor vaping as way to reduce the harm from cigarette smoking support much of the government's new report on smoking. "Much more resources, priority science and urgency is needed to find out how with whom and under what conditions we can use vapes to help any smokers at any age to switch if they are unable to or don't want to stop using nicotine but don't want to die," said Abrams.
