As e-cigarettes become more popular, fewer people are taking up smoking traditional cigarettes. But can e-cigarettes, an electronic nicotine delivery system, help people quit smoking altogether? That was the focus of a recent study led by a Hollings Cancer Center researcher.

The study found that smokers who are willing to use e-cigarettes tend to smoke less and have increased quit attempts, said Matthew Carpenter, Ph.D., a tobacco control and addiction expert at the cancer center at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

The best way to quit is cold turkey.

Make the decision and tough it out. I tried the patch and tossed them aside after 3 days and toughed it out. The patch is a whole program that costs hundreds of dollars and takes 6 months to do what cold turkey does in a couple of weeks for free.

The point of quitting it to break the addiction to nicotine, not find new ways of putting it in your body.
