DJ Surgeon General: E-Cigs Aren't Proven Smoking-Cessation Tool -- Market Talk
13:42 ET - The US Surgeon General says it's unclear if e-cigarettes help people quit smoking. That's a key question for the vaping industry as manufacturers prepare to submit applications this spring to the FDA seeking permission to remain on the US market. Juul Labs and other e-cigarette makers are expected to present clinical research showing the rates at which their users switch over completely from cigarettes. "It is difficult to make generalizations about efficacy for cessation based on clinical trials involving a particular e-cigarette, and there is presently inadequate evidence to conclude that e-cigarettes, in general, increase smoking cessation," the Surgeon General says.

DJ衞生局局長:e-Cigs沒有被證實吸煙-戒煙工具-市場對話
美國衞生局局長説,目前還不清楚電子煙是否能幫助人們戒煙。這對汽化行業來説是一個關鍵問題,因為製造商準備在今年春天向FDA提交申請,請求允許他們留在美國市場。尤爾實驗室和其他電子香煙製造商預計將提供臨牀研究,顯示他們的用户完全從香煙轉向的速度。“很難根據涉及特定電子煙的臨牀試驗來概括戒煙的有效性,目前還沒有足夠的證據證明電子煙總體上會增加戒煙,”外科醫生説。(jennifer.maloney@wsj.com;@maloneyfiles)
