I have seen many studies that show e-cig has higher success rate than anything else, both short and long term.
One of the reasons is that smoking is not just an addiction it is also a habit.
With e-cig you can break the addiction, while still performing the habitual behavior, and that has been shown to help ease the cravings. No fiddling with your hands when the cravings come, and you even have the calming pleasure of the vapor cloud that mimic smoke visually.
The bases of e-cig like vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, even have the advantage of helping to clean out the lungs from smoking, so your lungs recover faster, while still being considered extremely safe to inhale after more than 70 years of research.
Also using the e-cig as a 2 step solution has higher success rate than anything else, again because you can keep performing the habitual ritual, while stepping down the nicotine. So you are free of any dependency on either the e-cig or other nicotine products or medicine.
e-cig is one of the cheapest yet most effective options, and finally e-cig is the least stressful and among the safest options.
Champix may be among the better options, but it is a way more serious change of the brain chemistry than e-cigs, and may have mood altering effects and cause depression and/or aggression. These are symptoms can also occur when going cold turkey, problem is that Champix does not help against it as effectively as e-cigs do. Champix helps with the cravings, but not other side effects of quitting.
It is also curious how Champix is taken for 3 months, when that is one of the major crisis points for smokers to revert. This is a clear recipe for making people revert after having used Champix, which my tinfoil hat tells me is so they have higher chance of selling the same “cure” multiple times to the same person.

I am not a professional, but I have studied these issues very thoroughly, and learned how to read scientific papers to a reasonable degree, to investigate and better understand the issue at the scientific source and better understand criticism of some research papers, rather than just sensationalist journalistic interpretation. The above are all points I have learned through those studies. Except of course the suspicion of Champix treatment ending just a little bit to soon to sell the treatment multiple times.
20 years ago it was a big investment, and was frustrating me because I couldnt afford to save up for one because I was spending all my free money on tobacco.
Nowadays you can get a cheap one for less than a pack of 20 fags. (Probably. Depending on your country I guess.)
Or state, Texas just made it way more expensive with their “Anti-China” regulation, the irony is multi faceted, the so-called “Anti-big gubbment” passing regulation like that, though I’m sure it’s for someone’s enrichment as it always is, most of the big names just moved packaging to indonesia or similar to get around it, and many of the small business owners who own the vape shops are having to close becuase of the increased cost.

Vapes are OK if you just want the nicotine gone, but its still a habit
Also you need to make an investment first since most cheapo options like dispo or elfa have 20mg nic salts

It’s all so stupid.
