Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are available to contribute options for smoking cessation and include e-cigarettes, e-hookahs, vape pens, mods, and vaping. The growing use of ENDS, or e-cigarettes, in the US and globally across populations is dramatic. Although users may think that e-cigarettes are less harmful than combustible tobacco products, the evidence shows that there are known risks and harms for users. E-cigarettes have varying amounts of toxicants, nicotine, and carcinogens and put the user at risk for lung diseases and COVID-19 similar to smokers. Currently, most governing bodies have not approved e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool but do state if a person has failed conventional smoking cessation treatments that e-cigarettes used alone for the short term may help those to quit combustible tobacco and nicotine. A shared decision-making approach should be used when discussing e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool. More studies and long-term data are needed to assess potential benefits and harms. What is known is that prevention efforts and policy are needed to avoid adolescents and other vulnerable populations from initiating tobacco or e-cigarette use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1179173x221087524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]],"date-time":"2022-03-29T09:57:10Z","timestamp":1648547830000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":100,"title":["E-Cigarettes\u2014a review of the evidence\u2014harm versus harm reduction"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6514-5129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Feeney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Nursing, University of Massachusetts Medical SchoolUniversity, Worcester, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Rossetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lamar Souter Library, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical SchoolUniversity, Worcester, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7103-4564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jill","family":"Terrien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Nursing, University of Massachusetts Medical School Graduate School of NursingUniversity, Worcester, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1179173X221087524","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/hpr.2020.9463"},{"key":"bibr2-1179173X221087524","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.00166-2020"},{"key":"bibr3-1179173X221087524","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
