A new study suggests e-cigarettes don’t help smokers give up the real thing.
The devices have not been approved for sale in Canada, but are available online and in the United States.
Researchers say any evidence on whether they help people quit is both “contradictory and inconclusive,” and they’re calling for regulations to stop claims suggesting otherwise.
The new findings follow a warning from U.S. health officials that say some people are ending up in hospital after accidentally poisoning themselves with the liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes.
