Time, quit smoking nicotine intake gradually reduced to a minimum, and then overcome the habit of smoking, to achieve the purpose of smoking cessation success.

In the article “The Food and Drug Administration of the United States, the disappearance of electronic cigarettes, burning tobacco,” Dr. Nathan K. Cook and Dr. David Abrams called on the US Food and Drug Administration to “speed up their To eliminate the uncertainty of safety, to promote the replacement of clean nicotine, and to speed up the destruction of deadly burning tobacco.There are some studies of electronic cigarette equipment that they can be safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) Like nicotine chewing gum, patches and inhalants, etc. FDA-regulated products.
In addition to FDA regulators for electronic cigarettes, Cobb and Abrams suggest that the agency use its power to force the reduction of nicotine levels lower than electronic cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapy products to eliminate seasonings to “destroy the potential of addiction to burning tobacco products “They also advocate reducing the tax on nicotine replacement therapy while increasing tobacco taxes.
Finally, Cobb and Abrams appealed to FDA for drug evaluation and research to simplify the approval process and remove the regulatory burden on companies that are willing to invest in clean nicotine products such as electronic cigarette research and development. “If electronic cigarettes … are well planned, they can play the same role as NRT.”
