A study sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that associated electronic cigarette use with improved lung function will not be released to the public, according to sources with knowledge of the findings.
Some of the findings, which seem to support claims that vaporizers are a safer alternative to tobacco use, have been leaked to the media.
The 24-month study followed 560 volunteers that agreed to replace tobacco products with vaporizers. Among the 560 volunteers, half (280) were supplied with e-juice in a variety of flavors that contained nicotine. The second group of 280 received non-nicotine e-juice in the same flavors.
At the conclusion of the study, 206 volunteers from the nicotine group had remained tobacco free, with just 16 from the non-nicotine group.
The fact that vaporizers are great smoking cessation tools has been known for several years, however, the fact that vaporizers can significantly improve lung function is new.
“It’s the smoking gun with the silver bullet,” said a researcher with the project, on the condition of anonymity.
“Lung function improved by over 50 percent in all groups, regardless if nicotine was present or not,” said our source. “And it occurred within 6 months of vaporizing,” the source added.
The study, according to one source, will never see the light of day.
