E-Cigarette Use for Smoking Cessation: Scientific Evidence and Smokers’ Experiences

The use of e-cigarettes—or vaping to quit—has become one of the most frequently used cessation methods among smokers trying to quit smoking cigarettes. In 2017, 32% of current or former smokers in Canada reported using an e-cigarette as a cessation aid in the past 2 years.

OTRU conducted a knowledge synthesis of reviews regarding the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. We also conducted a study of experiences among Ontario smokers who have tried vaping to quit smoking cigarettes. Preliminary findings from these initiatives are highlighted in this report.
