New randomised trial shows e-cigarettes raise the successful quit rate for smokers from 10% (with nicotine replacement therapy) to 18%.\
\
\"The 1-year abstinence rate was 18.0% in the e-cigarette group, as compared with 9.9% in the nicotine-replacement group (relative risk, 1.83; 95% confidence interval \[CI\], 1.30 to 2.58; P\<0.001).\"
