“ 50 percent of smokers who quit cold turkey stayed quit . So 50 percent of the 5 percent who quit cold turkey , so 2.5 percent i . e . almost none .

“ This study is ludicrously misleading , but instead of applying any skepticism , CNN ’ s analysis somehow manages to make it even worse .”

“ Vaping research groundhog day as yet another large , longitudinal study finds ‘ no evidence to support the hypothesis that switching to e-cigarettes reduced relapse to cigarette smoking , whether or not e-cigarettes were used daily ’.”
@ SimonChapman6
“ This cross-sectional observational study can ’ t determine if those who vaped would have made any quit attempts if they hadn ’ t tried vaping . So called ‘ accidental quitters ’ often try vaping without the intent to quit smoking , so may ‘ relapse ’ longer than those who intended to .”
@ CASAAMedia
