A year ago, to quickly catch up with developed countries in the field of nicotine replacement therapy in the advanced level, the development of tobacco control in China provide a solid theoretical foundation, safe and effective scientific methods and a wide range of scientific literacy in the country engaged in a number of related experts in their field of study called for under the relevant competent departments of the Ministry of Health with support, our first in this field a professional academic organizations NRT Tobacco Control Section has set up in Beijing. As a public health experts, the WHO Tobacco Control Award medal winners, Dr Laugesen once again came to China, made a special trip to attend the Chinese Preventive Medical Association, Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Branch of the Tobacco Control study of nicotine replacement therapy group (hereinafter referred to as "NRT Tobacco Control Studies Group ") first anniversary of the seminar.

As an independent researcher, Dr Laugesen main research object is a substitute for cigarettes and tobacco. He himself is a public health doctor in the past 25 years, has been working on cigarettes and tobacco policy research, and start from the recent study of electronic cigarette. Dr Laugesen security of electronic cigarette testing and human clinical use of research, are our "smoke" electronic cigarettes as samples. "Nicotine replacement therapy" has been promoting for many years in the international arena, and widely recognized. In September 2008, the World Health Organization has said in a statement: there is no evidence that electronic cigarette help quit smoking, there is no any rigorous, peer-reviewed research results, the electronic cigarette is a safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy. WHO would like to e-cigarette manufacturers to actively and effectively carry out the experiment.

The results showed that: the electronic cigarette smoke contains more nicotine per port up to a smoke regular cigarettes, nicotine contained in each port 1 / 3 to 1 / 2, the solution is completely free of tobacco smoke bomb material, and use the process without burning.

Because there is no combustion, Laugesen said the electronic cigarette not a cigarette category. But for some individuals or government of the electronic cigarettes are classified as drugs, Laugesen do not agree. He said: "Electronic cigarette nicotine inhaler should be, and can emit aerosols. If someone using electronic cigarettes, people around will not feel unhappy. Because of smoking in public is disgusting behavior, smokers if you want maximum limits to tobacco control, it should turn inhalation electronic cigarette. "

E-cigarette tobacco control is to achieve the effect? Laugesen that depends on two factors: first, sales channels, you can not get a cigarette, electronic cigarette sales channels are limited, the store is not very common; followed by the tax factor, the Western countries on the cigarette tax rate is very high, so the electronic cigarette will be relatively inexpensive.

World Health Organization said in a statement, does not rule out the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes have the possibility of quitting, but the only way to prove this possibility is tested. The electronic cigarette is not a valid issue of smoking cessation products, Laugesen said that the current preparations for a test to prove that electronic cigarettes on smoking cessation to be effective, but he also said that smokers who want to stop smoking, the If you use the electronic cigarette smoking can be effective in reducing the number of which is not too difficult to quit, "Our results show that, from the nicotine intake, for many smokers that are able to control the effect of smoking, we also need further examination" .
