Those who used e-cigarettes or NRT but did not completely quit smoking did not show the same drop in toxin levels. This underlined that a complete switch was needed to get the long-term health benefits of quitting tobacco, the researchers said. Tobacco smoking currently kills around 6 million people a year. "The findings also make clear that the benefit is only realized if people stop smoking completely and make a total switch.
