Abstract
|
|
|
|
E-cigarettes were considered safe at the early stage of market entry because they were thought not to contain harmful ingredientssuch as nicotine and because the smoke emitted was vapor. For this reason, the use of e-cigarettes as a safer alternative to tobaccocigarettes or as a smoking cessation aid has emerged. However, the study results on the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smokingcessation are mixed. In response to the increased use of e-cigarettes, foreign countries have implemented various regulations, such asutilizing e-cigarettes for smoking cessation with a prescription in Australia; however, South Korea is still standing firm onrecommending not to use e-cigarettes at all. Therefore, the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation and the regulatorytrends of e-cigarette use overseas will be reviewed to discuss the future direction in South Korea needs to take.
