Description
Summary:Our study has limitations due to the simplicity of the project (e.g. no data were collected on smoke intake), but it provides the first information on the proportion of smokers who have tried EC and found them satisfactory enough to use them regularly. The key result suggests an unexpectedly high rate of adoption of the product, with about a quarter of smokers who tried electronic cigarette once progressing to regular use. Further surveys are needed to confirm our findings. Adapted from the source document.
