Experts have come to the conclusion in a recent study that most adults who smoke and vape at the same time, in the end, will not give up smoking.
Scientists have found that vaping doesn't actually help people quit smoking easily. And if you smoke cigarettes and use a vape at the same time, it will be even more harmful. However, this practice is not uncommon.
The researchers analyzed data on 545 people who smoked and vaped at the same time. These individuals participated in the U.S. Tobacco and Public Health Assessment between 2013/14 and 2018/19.
During the 6 years the participants were followed up, almost half of them (42%) stopped vaping but continued to smoke cigarettes. Only 10% of volunteers were able to quit smoking and vaping, while 15% continued to use vaping and smoking cigarettes.
