ABSTRACT
After several years of declining tobacco consumption, the number of smokers in Germany is currently stagnating or rising again. The reasons seem to be manifold, e.âg. stress caused by the pandemic with social isolation, rising cost of living and war in Europe.With tobacco use still widespread in the German population, evidence-based tobacco cessation is rarely implemented.According to recent studies, e-cigarettes are involved in the pathogenesis of lung disease, cardiac and vascular damage. In addition, their ingredients also have carcinogenic effects. However, clinical studies on long-term use are not yet available.E-cigarettes as a consumer product are not superior to nicotine replacement products and addiction-reducing medications recommended in guidelines. In the therapeutic setting, they are slightly more effective than nicotine replacement products. However, they are usually consumed continuously and thus perpetuate nicotine dependence. Their use increases the risk of relapse to tobacco smoking.Despite the various new approaches, such as Internet-based offerings, app, etc., talks and pharmacotherapy are the gold standard and more effective than any therapy on its own.
