THE E-CIGARETTE, A GOOD MEDIUM-TERM SOLUTION!
Month without tobacco obliges, many media offer articles and reports concerning the cessation of smoking. Recently it is the Prof. Sébastien Couraux, head of the pneumology department at the Lyon Sud hospital who spoke on the subject, evoking in passing the "debate" and the interest of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation:
There is not really a debate on the e-cigarette but a nuance. The electronic cigarette clearly has its place in a number of cases. For example, for an individual in his fifties who has smoked for a very long time and who has experienced withdrawal failures. Both with the patches and with Champix. For him, the electronic cigarette will be a good solution to stop smoking. Then it will be necessary to get rid of this addiction to electronic cigarettes. Here again, the role of the tobacco specialist becomes essential. "
