Electronic Cigarette Research

 

According to some criticism of the electronic cigarette little or no research of the electronic cigarette has been carried out. (Some of this criticism originates from bodies ECigaretteDirect invited to participate in research but who ignored our call!)

This is not in fact the case, with several analyses being carried out and more in the the process of being carried out. ECD is in the process of collating this research and summarising this research, with links to the complete and original research documents where possible.

 

The Importance of Smoking Stimuli

Smoking Stimuli Research: Traditionally smoking cessation products have focussed on replacing the nicotine smokers are addicted to. This research suggests reasons as to why this treatment is so ineffective, and why e-cigarettes have proved to be such a popular replacement for cigarettes.

Survey: How would users respond to a ban?

We asked 150 e-cigarette users what they would do in the event of a ban. Check out the results: Electronic Cigarette Ban Survey.
