Ready to quit vaping in the new year? A new study uncovers the best ways
Daily MailA 'game-changing' anti-smoking pill set to be rolled out on the NHS could be the best way to help quit vaping, research has suggested. Britons are taking up vaping in unprecedented numbers, with roughly one in ten adults now estimated to be hooked on the habit The daily pill was first marketed in the UK by Pfizer in 2006 under the brand name Champix But the drug, which triples the odds of quitting smoking, will again soon be offered on the NHS but manufactured by different pharmaceutical company Teva UK. 'This is an area of research that is in its infancy, but is growing rapidly and organically from people who vape asking about help to quit vaping,' study senior author and assistant professor of health policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, said. Dr Ailsa Butler, study lead author and expert in public health policy at the University of Oxford, added: 'With the results of our Cochrane review, healthcare professionals now have initial evidence for specific approaches they can recommend, particularly for younger people wanting to quit vaping. 'We don't know, however, that they necessarily help people quit vaping, and that's why it's important that we have these trials.'
