Among U.S. smokers who had no intention to quit, those who began using e-cigarettes daily were significantly more likely to reduce or stop smoking cigarettes compared to those who never used e-cigarettes. However, only 2% of this population adopted daily e-cigarette use, suggesting e-cigarettes played a limited but notable role in reducing smoking in this resistant-to-quitting group.
