E-cigarette and vapouriser usage (health and wellbeing needs in South Tyneside)

Evidence for interventions

  • PHE Evidence review of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products 2018, summarises evidence to underpin policy and regulation of e-cigarettes and vaping devices.
  • The Cochrane review which looked at electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation[8] (2016), combined results from two studies, involving 662 people, showed that using an e-cigarette containing nicotine increased the chances of stopping smoking in the long term compared to using an e cigarette without nicotine.
  • There is evidence that school based interventions are effective in reducing uptake and NICE have published a series of recommendations[9,10] which set out clear guidelines for commissioners.  However, the impact of these interventions are considered more effective when delivered as a package of cross cutting tobacco control measures in the community aimed at adults and away from school grounds.
  • This also applies to e-cigarette usage while pregnant
