Last month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took a pivotal first step to reduce nicotine levels in combustible cigarettes by publishing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to initiate a public dialogue regarding its plan to implement a product standard to set a maximum nicotine level in traditional cigarettes to make them minimally addictive or non-addictive.

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the US

Cigarettes are responsible for over 480,000 deaths in the US each year, more than “AIDS, alcohol, illegal drug use, homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle crashes combined.” In fact, smoking costs close to $300 billion in direct health care and lost productivity per year.

Tackling the addictiveness of cigarettes by reducing the level of nicotine in them has the potential to positively impact the success rates of those trying to quit the deadly habit while also preventing youth experimenting with cigarettes from getting hooked.

Included in the ANPRM are new estimates published in the New England Journal of Medicine that evaluate one possible scenario that, if implemented, could help about 5 million additional adults quit within one year of implementation. By the end of the century, that same model could reduce the smoking rate from 15 percent to just 1.4 percent, saving more than 8 million lives.

Key difference between combustible and non-combustible nicotine delivery methods

There is no denying that nicotine is an addictive substance; however, when delivered through combustible cigarettes, users also inhale other toxic chemicals, including an assortment of carcinogens. Not only do smokers expose themselves to toxins such as hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and carbon monoxide, but the tobacco smoke emitted also adversely affects non-smokers around them.

Although non-combustible products such as the nicotine patch, gum, and lozenges and electronic cigarettes also deliver nicotine, they do so in a significantly less harmful way. E-cigs, for instance, heat a liquid to release nicotine through vapor, which does not contain many of the toxins present in cigarette smoke.

Therefore, the FDA plans on encouraging the innovation of alternative nicotine delivery products that are less harmful than cigarettes so that current adult smokers can continue to obtain nicotine but from less dangerous sources.

What do you think of the FDA’s unprecedented first step in reducing the addictiveness of cigarettes? Tell us in the comments section below.

The American Cancer Society’s (ACS) recent position statement on e-cigarettes reveals a notable and encouraging change from its previous stance on electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Noting that “Combustible tobacco products, primarily cigarettes, are the single greatest cause of cancer and kill about 7 million people worldwide each year,” the society now supports the use of e-cigarettes as a tool to help smokers quit the lethal habit.

Why did the ACS change their position?

As a result of the growing body of evidence confirming that the current generation of e-cigarettes is less harmful than traditional cigarettes, many government agencies have revised their positions on these electronic devices, used by millions of consumers to help them quit smoking. In July 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a similar shift in policy, and it is now even considering regulating ENDs as an over-the-counter drug. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has already begun to promote them as a safer nicotine delivery alternative, alongside the nicotine patch, gum, and lozenges. It is not surprising, then, that the ACS has also altered its position to reflect the scientific community’s new findings and, ultimately, to better support clinical and policy recommendations that will aid smokers who want to quit.

The ACS recommends that clinicians support e-cigarettes.

While the ACS advises clinicians to continue to recommend FDA-approved cessation tools to smokers, it recognizes that e-cigarettes may be the preferred method to achieve smoking cessation goals for many.

Although traditional nicotine delivery alternatives provide smokers with the drug their body craves, alleviating the often painful physical withdrawal symptoms, they fail to satisfy the critical psychological and emotional aspects that can make quitting even more challenging. When smokers quit, they also miss indulging in the act of bringing the cigarette to their lips, inhaling an aeriform substance, and exhaling it. They may even crave the social aspects of taking a break to enjoy a few moments outside with their peers. Since e-cigs deliver nicotine with as few disruptions to their routine as possible, they can be more appealing than other nicotine delivery therapies that are currently available on the market.

Citing that “The ACS has always supported any smoker who is considering quitting, no matter what approach they use; there is nothing more important that they can do for their health,” it advises clinicians to encourage smokers to move to an exclusive, rather than dual, use of e-cigarettes.

While it is common knowledge that quitting smoking leads to improved health, you may be wondering what specific changes you can expect in both the short and long term so that you can take the first step towards a smoke-free life. Here is what happens when you quit the deadly habit.

Short-Term Benefits of Quitting Smoking

It doesn’t take long to start experiencing the health advantages of quitting. Within as little as 20 minutes, your heart rate will slow down to a healthy level, and your blood pressure, as well as your pulse, will normalize. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that you inhale when smoking cigarettes; the good news is that within 12 hours of quitting, its level in your blood will return to normal.

Between two weeks to three months, your risk of a heart attack starts to drop and you can notice an improvement in your lung function, making it easier for you to maintain an active lifestyle. And if you’re looking forward to getting rid of that persistent smoker’s cough and shortness of breath that have plagued you since you started smoking, you’ll be glad to know that within one to nine months, you will experience relief from both these ailments.

Long-Term Benefits of Quitting Smoking

When you reach the one-year milestone, there will be plenty to celebrate. Not only will you have conquered your addiction for a full year, but you will also have significantly decreased your risk of a heart attack. Within two to five years, your risk of a stroke could be approximately the same as that of a non-smoker. How is that for an achievement? The five-year mark is also an important time since you will have reduced your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder by half. And by the time you reach the 15-year point, your risk of coronary heart disease becomes the same as a non-smoker!

Many smokers who attempt to quit cold turkey may initially experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as severe cravings, irritability, anxiety, depression, and headaches. E-cigarettes can help relieve those nicotine cravings by delivering nicotine in a less harmful way, so rather than risking a slip or a relapse, you can satisfy both the physical and psychological symptoms with the use of its electronic counterpart. Then you can begin to gradually decrease your nicotine level over time and eventually you can potentially switch to a zero nicotine e-cigarette.

Have you made the decision to quit? If so, will you be quitting cold turkey or using e-cigarettes to help you during the process? Tell us in the comments section below.

When switching from smoking to vaping, figuring out the nicotine strength that is right for you is crucial. An inadequate level will not assuage your physical withdrawal symptoms, making you more likely to revert to combustible cigarettes while too much can make you feel sick, also adversely affecting your vaping experience. Determining the optimum level takes time and involves some trial and error.

When to Decrease Your Nicotine Strength

Most former heavy smokers or those who had previously been smoking for many years start their transition from traditional cigarettes to e-cigs with the strongest option available. Since their bodies are used to a high level of nicotine, starting out with the 2.4% nicotine –  27 mg option, for instance, provides them with enough of the substance to manage their cravings, hence decreasing the temptation to smoke again.

However, if you start feeling nauseous and dizzy or get a headache after a vaping session, it might be a sign that that nicotine level is too high for you. This is dangerous not only because it may reduce the appeal of vaping for you but also because it may increase your nicotine tolerance. If you find yourself in this situation, consider going down to a medium level such as the 1.8% nicotine – 20 mg option. If you are worried about being tempted to smoke again, we recommend using a tobacco flavor that simulates the rich, traditional taste of cigarettes so that you can continue to enjoy a satisfying experience.

When to Increase Your Nicotine Strength

Some people begin their transition with zero-nicotine e-cigarettes or a lower concentration, such as the 1.6% nicotine – 18 mg level since they want to set ambitious goals for themselves and perhaps hope to, ultimately, be nicotine-free. While setting such lofty goals is commendable, it may be unrealistic as your body may crave a higher level of nicotine.

A less than optimum nicotine level may result in physical withdrawal symptoms, which can manifest itself as an intense urge to smoke, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, insomnia or sleeping problems, irritability, anxiety, and emotional outbursts, just to name a few. If this is the case, consider going one level up until you find a level that works for you. Experimentation is key in finding the ideal concentration that will ensure your success.

Earlier this year, New York University (NYU) researchers released the findings of their report titled “Harm Minimization and Tobacco Control: Reframing Societal Views of Nicotine Use to Rapidly Save Lives,” which suggests that vaping is much less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

Harm Minimization

The harm reduction approach acknowledges that the adverse effects of nicotine-containing products fall on a continuum of harm, ranging from exceptionally low to exceptionally high. So, is vaping safer than smoking? According to the report, non-combustible nicotine-containing options such as patches, gums, nasal sprays, and e-cigarettes fall on the lower end of the spectrum while combustible nicotine delivery systems such as traditional cigarettes, pipes, and cigars fall on the higher end, meaning that switching from smoking to vaping would result in significantly less harm to the user.

Citing a previous study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), a leading medical journal, they assert that the “replacement of most cigarette use by e-cigarette use over a 10-year period yields up to 6.6 million fewer premature deaths with 86.7 million fewer life years lost.”

With that in mind, they posit that any reduction in relative harm from a previous level should be encouraged. Although the best case scenario is one where users don’t use any nicotine-containing products at all, they promote a more realistic view whereby if the consumer does not want to stop the consumption of nicotine, then the goal should be to eliminate their use of smoked or combustible tobacco. In other words, they should be encouraged to use alternative non-combustible products like the ones mentioned above.

Why Are E-Cigarettes the “Sweet Spot?”

While combusted products such as cigarettes score high on appeal and satisfaction, they are also the most toxic. While nicotine replacement therapies such as gums, patches, and nasal sprays provide nicotine without the deleterious toxins present in smoke, they lack the appeal and satisfaction associated with the inhaling and exhaling of vapor and are therefore not likely to replace cigarettes at a population level. E-cigarettes have the potential to rival cigarettes since they score low on relative toxicity and high on appeal and satisfaction, as evidenced by the increase in their use by ex-smokers in the UK and the US.

Recommendations for Public Policy

Not surprisingly, the report suggests the need to reaffirm harm minimization in tobacco control to save smokers’ lives and protect youth. They also recommend educating the public about the relative harms of various nicotine products and reducing the misconceptions surrounding e-cigarettes so that users can make an informed decision.

Was your new year resolution to stop smoking? By now, you may be finding it increasingly difficult to stick to your goals. Don’t despair; it is perfectly normal. After all, quitting is a process, and some days are harder than others. If you’ve had a slip or fear a relapse, this blog will provide you with concrete strategies to help you cope with those situations.

What is the difference between a slip and a relapse?

A slip is a temporary setback where you have one or two cigarettes after you’ve quit smoking, and it is most likely to occur in the first few months. A relapse, on the other hand, is when you begin smoking regularly again. Unfortunately, both situations are common, and it often takes smokers multiple attempts to kick the habit for good. So, if you’ve had a slip or a relapse, here is what you can do.

Identify your triggers.

Triggers come in various forms. Some people are more prone to smoking in stressful situations while others find it hard to resist the temptation at a party, surrounded by other smokers. Sometimes, the urge to smoke can come when you are going about your daily life, such as having a cup of coffee in the morning.

Come up with a plan to deal with your triggers.

Depending on your trigger, your plan to cope will differ. If strong emotions make you more susceptible to a slip, learning to talk about your feelings to a trusted friend or practicing stress and anxiety management techniques, such as taking slow, deep breaths can help. Exercise and calming music can also have a positive impact on you, reducing your cravings for cigarettes.

If you’re more tempted in social situations, remind your friends and family that you have decided to quit, and politely ask them to avoid smoking around you. You may also want to consider nicotine replacement options, such as the patch, lozenges, or e-cigs to help you fight the urge to smoke. In addition to delivering nicotine without the thousands of noxious chemicals in smoke, e-cigs also provide you with that comforting inhale and exhale feeling that you’re accustomed to since using them closely mimics the act of smoking.

Similarly, if your cravings occur as a result of a pattern that you have developed over the years, using a nicotine replacement alternative, such as e-cigarettes, can satisfy your physical withdrawal symptoms. If you only miss the act of smoking, using a nicotine-free e-cig can help you maintain those habits without resorting to smoking or consuming nicotine at all.

Don’t give up.

Those who have been smoking for a long time know that it is a highly addictive habit, and if you’ve successfully stopped even for a short period of time, that is something to celebrate. Remember the feeling of accomplishment that you had while you were smoke-free and the noticeable health benefits that you enjoyed during that time to help you get back on track.

Cancer Research UK, in collaboration with Public Health England (PHE) and the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, has recently launched an e-cigarette campaign with the aim to increase awareness of the relative safety of these electronic devices compared to smoking combustible cigarettes.

Since Manchester has a high smoking prevalence level, the campaign is targeting local smokers aged 25 to 55 who are looking to quit the deadly habit. The marketing initiatives include outdoor advertising, ads on buses, billboards, as well as phone booth and washroom posters, which can be seen across Greater Manchester until February 18th.

According to research published by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), “in 2017 only 13% of adults correctly identified that e-cigarettes are much less harmful, compared to 21% in 2013.” Since there is rampant, and increasing, misconception among the general public that e-cigs are just as, if not more, damaging than traditional cigarettes, the campaign strives to acquaint people with the research to date. According to Cancer Research UK, the evidence shows that vaping is much safer than smoking as “there is no smoke, tar or carbon monoxide, and studies looking at key toxicants have generally found much lower levels than in cigarettes.”

Another key goal of the campaign is to inform people that e-cigarettes do not contain cancer-causing tobacco, although they may contain nicotine. However, despite the substance being addictive, the delivery mechanism – heating as opposed to burning – makes e-cigarettes “far closer to other nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products than tobacco in terms of harm.”

Lastly, they want to highlight that many smokers in the UK are turning to e-cigarettes to help them stop smoking. In fact, for the first time, a survey conducted by ASH found that there were more ex-smokers, 1.5 million, who use the electronic devices than current smokers. Furthermore, “the main reason people offered for their use of e-cigarettes was to stop smoking.”
