Nicotine E-Cigarettes for Cigarette Smoking Cessation: Recommendations to US-Based Clinicians

The authors aim to address how clinicians can effectively integrate e-cigarettes into smoking cessation discussions with patients, given their potential benefits compared to traditional nicotine replacement therapies. They provide evidence-based recommendations for engaging patients in shared decision-making about the risks and benefits of e-cigarettes, while also clarifying common misconceptions about their safety. Ultimately, the paper advocates for the inclusion of e-cigarettes as a viable option in pharmacologic treatments for smoking cessation to mitigate the health risks associated with cigarette smoking.
