I've never seen a paper published with such a small overall effect. And tobacco use was reported at baseline of a 20-year period, so smokeless tobacco users and non-users may have had different smoking relapse rates. Unfortunately, such follow-up information is not generally available for the CPS-II study group.Brian Rostronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-84433097329715745402011-11-26T21:38:20.387-05:002011-11-26T21:38:20.387-05:00Thanks Brad, I hope she takes you up on the offer....Thanks Brad, I hope she takes you up on the offer. I'm tired of people whether they are spokesmen or doctors or ALA representatives or whoever making inaccurate and downright false statements when it comes to smokeless alternatives available to Americans. It's downright shameful. I have been off of cigarettes completely for over eleven months now and it's due to electronic cigarettes. I'd still be a smoker if I were unable to begin using e-cigs back then and MY doctor has nothing but praise for me getting off the cigarettes. Doctor Karim better do a little more homework and recognize smokeless alternatives for what they actually are. They are life savers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
