A recent study has found that consuming e-cigarettes if far safer and less toxic than smoking conventional tobacco cigarettes.

The study, which was led by a public health and epidemiology specialist at University College London, analyzed levels of dangerous and cancer-causing substances in the body and found that people who switched from smoking regular cigarettes to e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), has much lower levels of toxins in their saliva and urine than those who continued to smoke.

Lion Shahab, the specialist, said that the study “adds to existing evidence showing that e-cigarettes and NRT are far safer than smoking, and suggests that there is a very low risk associated with their long-term use.”

People who used e-cigarettes or NRT but did not completely quit smoking did not show the same drop in toxin levels. This underlined that a complete switch is needed to get the long-term health benefits of quitting tobacco, the researchers said.

According to the World Health Organization, tobacco smoking currently kills around 6 million people a year, and it will have killed approximately one billion people by the end of this century if trends continue.

“Switching to e-cigarettes can significantly reduce harm to smokers, with greatly reduced exposure to carcinogens and toxins,” he said in a statement. “The findings also make clear that the benefit is only realized if people stop smoking completely and make a total switch.

“The best thing a smoker can do, for themselves and those around them, is to quit now, completely and forever.”
