AFTER FAILURES, THE E-CIGARETTE IS A REAL ALTERNATIVE!
Guest of the health show " Without an appointment " presented by Mélanie Gomez, the specialist doctor of addictions Jean-Pierre Couteron emphasizes the value of using e-cigarettes to quit smoking.
« This one was invented by smokers who had failed to quit", Assures the specialist in addictology who assures not to have" no link of interest with the pharmaceutical, tobacco or vaping industries". " It is estimated to be 95% less harmful than tobacco“, He continues, citing“ an English expert who updated about 200 studies. We can't be completely precise but it's clearly less toxic"
« The difficulty is having the right dosage "- Jean-Pierre Couteron
The advantage of vaping is that the person who wants to quit smoking does " step by step, gradually". " We are still addicted to nicotine, but we got rid of what we had to get rid of. There is no shame in vaping to quit smoking“, He still maintains. " In consultation, we see people who have tried to quit with other things, without success, and therefore they can try the e-cigarette"
And the addiction specialist reminds us of an important notion: nicotine is not toxic. " It is the same that we find in cigarettes, but also patches or chewing gums in pharmacies.". The difficulty, he continues " is to have the right dosage". " Hence the interest of going to good shops for advice"
