Switch to vaping could prevent millions of premature deaths Over 6 million premature deaths could be prevented if smokers switched to e-cigarettes over a ten-year period.
This is the finding of a study published this week in Tobacco Control.
A research team, led by Dr David Levy at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington DC, modelled the impact for public health if large numbers of cigarette smokers switched to e-cigarettes (vaping) under two scenarios – an Optimistic Scenario where smoking prevalence falls to 5% over a ten-year period and a Pessimistic Scenario where it falls to 10%.
For the Optimistic Scenario, the researchers presumed similar patterns of e-cigarette use to now and used published evaluations of likely harm reductions. OnMedica
