Abstract
An important consideration when assessing the public health impact of e-cigarettes is how far they contribute to, or detract from, smoking cessation in the population. There has been speculation about this (1), but without engaging appropriately with the relevant data and based on unreliable assumptions. England has data that can help to address this question, at least so far. Addiction's readers may be interested in the following analysis. It focuses on 2014, the most recent year for which full data are available. It leads to an estimate of 16K-22K as the number of additional long-term quitters generated by e-cigarettes in that year.
