๐บ๐ธ U.S. Physicians Shift Their Tone
Major U.S. healthcare providers, including Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Mayo Clinic, now state that while vaping isnโt safe for everyone, it can be an effective tool to help adults stop smoking cigarettes.
"If youโre trying to quit smoking and havenโt had success with other methods, e-cigarettes may help." โ Mayo Clinic, 2025
๐ Doctors Now Recommend Vaping For:
- ๐ฅ Heavy smokers who failed with patches, gum, or medication
- ๐ Reducing daily cigarette use before quitting completely
- โ ๏ธ Replacing a deadly habit with a significantly less harmful one
๐ Medical Warnings Still Apply
Doctors are clear: vaping is not risk-free. But for smokers facing life-threatening illness, the risk reduction is substantial and meaningful.
