@KosmiderLeon @cat_kimber @HaydenMcRobbie and important finding not in abstract (we were told to take it out) - our simulation suggests switching to lower nic liquid results in 2-fold increase in cancer risk. Thanks @CR_UK for funding.

@RachM_UoN Congratulations- very well deserved

[Hayden McRobbie @HaydenMcRobbie]

@HelenPParker It was a great meeting. Roll on outcomes as opposed to outputs

@papaioannoy @OttawaModel It was quite some time ago

A study led by Professor Peter Hajek from Queen Mary suggesting e-cigarettes are more effective than nicotine replacement therapy in supporting smokers to quit is one of the year’s most talked about research papers. https://t.co/mr3nzKQptR

[Hayden McRobbie @HaydenMcRobbie]

@JonathanFoulds I’d agree - it’s worth a shot. I’d also support him to make the switch (follow-up) and encourage him to stop smoking combustible cigarettes as soon as he can

Updated review on mobile phone interventions for smoking cessation. Support delivered via text messages is still an effective way of helping people quit smoking. https://t.co/rsNZZdTAFB @rawegd @DrChrisBullen @rosiedobson2

Our new time series paper published in @AddictionJrnl found that in 2017 around 50,700 to 69,930 smokers had stopped as a consequence of e-cigarettes who would otherwise have carried on smoking https://t.co/KjU4m6Lcim

@Alan_Beard1 @BoatingFuzzy @LindaBauld @nwalker25021458 @DrChrisBullen Yes, this kind of support is important and clearly helpful for people transitioning from smoking

[Hayden McRobbie @HaydenMcRobbie]

And another RCT showing that vaping can help people who smoke to quit. The evidence continues to grow.

[Hayden McRobbie @HaydenMcRobbie]

@robertjwest Minimal behavioural support is a key factor I think. Results are not hugely different to those seen in the @DrChrisBullen 2013 study, which also offered minimal support.

[Hayden McRobbie @HaydenMcRobbie]

@Alan_Beard1 @LindaBauld @nwalker25021458 @DrChrisBullen Absolute quit rates are lower than the Hajek RCT, most likely reflecting limited behavioural support.
