  • Decreases in exclusive cigarette smoking and increases in exclusive electronic cigarette use were seen among U.S. adults from 2017 to 2023, according to research published in the March 6 issue of the U.

The article from MSN, published on October 10, 2023, discusses a study from the University of Waterloo's International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project, which analyzed data from 2017 to 2023. The study found a significant decline in exclusive cigarette smoking across several countries including Australia, Canada, England, and the United States. Conversely, there was an increase in the use of vaping products, particularly among those who had previously smoked cigarettes. This shift suggests a trend where smokers are either switching to vaping or using it as a means to quit smoking. The research highlights the evolving landscape of nicotine consumption, with vaping gaining popularity, possibly due to perceptions of it being less harmful than traditional cigarettes. However, the study also notes the need for continued monitoring of these trends to understand long-term health implications and regulatory needs.
