(Radio Iowa) – One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to quit smoking, and a survey finds 70-percent of Iowa smokers want to quit, while 50-percent will try to quit in the year ahead.
There are mixed messages circulating about how vaping can help smokers to kick the habit, messages that are blatantly false, according to Erika Sward, spokeswoman for the American Lung Association in Iowa.
The U-S Food and Drug Administration has not found any e-cigarettes to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit, Sward says, and the Lung Association is urging smokers to step away from all tobacco and nicotine products, and not switch to vaping.
