Nicotine e-cigarettes are more
ef ective in helping people quit
smoking than conventional
nicotine-replacement therapy
(NRT), the Cochrane review,
considered to be gold standard
quality, conf rmed.
T e review of studies
published on the Cochrane
Database of Systematic Reviews
on Monday found high cer-
tainty evidence that e-cigarettes,
which allow users to vape
nicotine instead of smoke it,
led to better chances of quitting
smoking than patches, gums,
lozenges or other traditional
NRT.
“In England, quite dif erent
from the rest of the world, e-
cigarettes have been embraced
by public health agencies as a
tool to help people reduce the
harm from smoking,” said Jamie
Hartmann-Boyce, assistant
professor of health policy
and promotion at the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts
Amherst in the US, said.

Once again, vape credentials validated by science
Supreme PLC, brand owner of
88vape, has partnered with Elf-
bar discounter B&M to provide
over 700 in-store vape recycling
bins.
T e scheme is the f rst to
appear in the estate of a nation-
wide retail chain, with all three
organisers saying the campaign
will “signif cantly increase” the
expansion of recycling.
“Here at Supreme, we
always want to be one step
ahead, and that’s no dif erent
regarding our environmental
impact,” said Sandy Chadha,
Supreme CEO.
Working with the Wastecare
Group, the UK’s largest collec-
tor of portable batteries for re-
cycling, the scheme will see a
more responsible handling of
the collected vapes, all
containing lithium bat-
teries. T e raw materials
will be recovered and
recycled in line with
existing disposal rules;
the vape batteries will
be processed to recover
the lithium, and the
f lter and nicotine ele-
ments sent for incinera-
tion. All these recycling
processes take place in
the UK.
A B&M spokesperson said:
“B&M welcomes the oppor-
tunity to work in a three-way
partnership with Elfbar and
Supreme to tackle the ongo-
ing environmental damage
occurring by single-
use, disposable vaping
products.
“We want our con-
sumers to use the prod-
ucts we sell in a respon-
sible manner, and that
remains even when they
are no longer of use.
T ese new bins of er a
convenient and sustain-
able way for customers
to dispose of their vapes.
Like many of the other
products we sell, vapes should
never be binned or littered –
especially now they can be so
easily recycled.”

“Most of the adults in the
US who smoke want to quit
but many f nd it really dif cult
to do so,” added Hartmann-
Boyce, who conducted research
at the University of Oxford in
England before joining UMass
Amherst earlier this year. “We
need a range of evidence-based
options for people to use to
quit smoking, as some people
will try many dif erent ways of
quitting before f nding one that
works for them.”
Hartmann-Boyce, a
Cochrane editor, is senior
author of the review, which
included 88 studies and more
than 27,235 participants – an
addition of 10 studies since the
last update in 2022. Most of
the studies analyzed took place
in the US, United Kingdom or
Italy.
T e November 2022 review
has found “high certainty”
evidence that people are more
likely to stop smoking for at
least six months using nicotine
e-cigarettes, or vapes, than
using nicotine replacement
therapies, such as patches and
gums.
“We have very clear
evidence that, though not risk
free, nicotine e-cigarettes are
substantially less harmful than
smoking,” Hartmann-Boyce
said. “Some people who haven’t
had success in the past with
other quit aids have found e-
cigarettes have helped them.”
T e analysis found of 100
people using e-cigarettes to
stop smoking, 80% would be
expected to stop, compared
with six of 100 using traditional
NRT, and with four of 100 try-
ing to quit with no support or
behavioral support only.

system, 3 in 1 structure
Vape brand Innokin has announced
the launch of Trine, redefining the
structure of pod systems with Atom-
izer, Control, and Battery (removable).
The “3 in 1” solution should greatly
improve the reusability of the battery,
extending the life cycle of devices far
beyond that of an individual battery
while enabling safe recycling.
Trine ensures safe battery dis-
posal by integrating EcoDrain, a
cutting-edge battery discharge
technology, setting a new industry
standard as an eco-safe solution for
battery disposal.
Innokin said this technology
minimises fi re hazards and reduces
the detrimental environmental impact.

Aberdeenshire Council’s Trading
Standards has stressed it will not toler-
ate retailers breaking the law and
selling tobacco or nicotine vape
products to anyone under the age of
18.
Earlier this year, six shops in Peter-
head were visited as part of a test
purchase operation for disposable
vapes and cigarettes.
Despite the law around sales being
very clear, one town centre shop-
keeper made no ef ort to establish the
young person’s age – despite the fact
that she was just 16 – and he was re-
ported to the Procurator Fiscal.
