A French study abstract published in Preventive Medicine Reports found that e-cigarette use was significantly associated with smoking cessation, while NRT use was inversely associated.

What the abstract doesn't mention is that the vast majority of people may have successfully prevented their chemical dependence on nicotine without using e-cigarettes, nicotine replacement products, or other smoking cessation products.

Eight researchers for the study scrutinized data from the 2017 French Health Barometer survey, which involved 2,783 adults who had smoked for at least 6 months, had tried to quit in the 4 years preceding the survey, and had last tried to quit for at least 6 months before the survey.

Of these 2,783 individuals, an overwhelming majority of 61.7% (1,716) attempted to quit smoking independently without using e-cigarettes, NRT, or any other smoking cessation product.

For about 4 years, NRT has been the cornerstone of smoking cessation policies in developed countries. The big news from this study should be that compared to NRT quitters, unassisted quitters were 27% more likely to successfully quit smoking at 6 months, 38% more likely to successfully quit smoking at one year, and more likely to quit smoking at 2 years 43%.

Instead, the study, entitled Use of Quit Aids and Possibility of Quitting: A French Population-Based Study, declared the winners for the majority of e-cigarette users who remained addicted and dependent on nicotine, although only 15 of 2,783 ex-smokers % of e-cigarette users who completely quit smoking.

This is the second 2022 European study to find that NRT impairs successful smoking cessation. Strikingly similar, a July UK study found that the unadjusted odds of quitting smoking with OTC NRT were 43% lower within a year than quitting on its own.

As early as 1972, the tobacco industry realized that nicotine was necessary for smoking. Clearly, smoking cessation researchers are not there yet.

More than 100 2022 studies explore risks of nicotine and vaping. Still, in the absence of long-term data, the scientific community remains in the dark about the long-term risks of most vaping.

Is smoking addiction a solution, as French research suggests? If so, what is the cure? More nicotine?

According to a 2010 paper co-authored by Professor Simon Chapman (author of the 2022 book Distraction Weapons at Mass), since the majority of smokers quit without assistance, the largest studies ignore is scientifically unaware of how to quit smoking.

So far, no smoking cessation researchers have shared the key to how most smokers in the French study managed to break nicotine's grip on their minds and lives, the results show.

Will 2023 be the year when hundreds of smoking cessation experts are finally able to explain how most quitters succeed? In the end, wouldn't empathy make them understand that tobacco's greatest harm is not a disease years or decades away? It's chemical slavery, the 2 hour half-life of nicotine, and how every waking hour of the day is spent.
