“…Thus, most participants answered during the weeks when craving and withdrawal symptoms are the most intense. The patterns of e-cigarette use in this study were comparable to patterns observed in previous studies of vapers: 120 puffs/day (Etter and Bullen, 2011b); 175 puffs/day (Etter, 2010a); 200 puffs/day (Etter and Bullen, 2011c;Foulds et al, 2011); 235 puffs/day (Dawkins et al, 2013b); 4 ml e-liquid per day (Farsalinos et al, 2013a). This suggests that participants in this study were not particularly intensive users and that our results are generalizable to most daily vapers.…”

“…Nevertheless, it is possible that some respondents gave the answers that they thought might help defend their position (e.g., by reporting more effects on craving and on smoking cessation). When they were smokers, participants were more dependent on tobacco than smokers in the general population (Etter, 2010b). Thus, our results may have limited generalizability and should be interpreted with caution.…”

“…The study builds on our previous surveys of vapers (Douptcheva et al, 2013;Etter and Bullen, 2011a;Etter, 2010a;Etter andBullen, 2011b, 2014). We posted a questionnaire on the smoking cessation website Stop-Tabac.ch (Etter, 2008;Etter and Hughes, 2006), in English and French, between October, 2012and September, 2014 We chose this site for convenience (it is managed by the author).…”

Smokers who strongly preferred to quit abruptly were instructed to do so immediately (n = 2456), those who strongly preferred gradual were instructed to reduce their cigarette consumption over 2 weeks, then quit (n = 1801). Follow-up was conducted 4 weeks after target quit dates. Findings: Those who preferred abrupt quitting were the most motivated to quit and the most confident in their ability to quit. At follow-up, quit rates were 16% in those who preferred abrupt cessation, 7% in those who preferred gradual cessation and 9% in those who had no preference (p < 0.001). In the latter group, quit rates were equal for those randomized to abrupt or gradual (9%, p = 0.97). In those who expressed a strong preference for either method, there were interactions between quitting method, motivation to quit and confidence in ability to quit: those who had low levels of motivation or low levels of confidence were more likely to quit at follow-up if they preferred and used abrupt rather than gradual. Conclusions: In those who had no strong preference for either method, abrupt and gradual produced similar results. Those who preferred and used the abrupt method were more likely to quit than those who preferred and used the gradual method, in particular when they had low motivation and confidence.

“…In Italy, the overall prevalence of smoking among hospital staff is 30.6% and among physicians is 21.2%; moreover, only 58.7% of hospital health staff tackles the issue of smoking in any contact with patients [9]. In Switzerland, smokers did not receive additional advice to quit or help to quit smoking by their physicians over a period of 10 yrs [10].…”
