The harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes has once again been confirmed by authoritative public health institutions.
Researchers from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a research paper in the journal Tobacco Control, indicating that e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes. Smokers who switch to e-cigarettes see a decrease in the levels of various carcinogenic biomarkers in their urine, with reductions of up to 95%.

"More and more smokers are switching to e-cigarettes, and we hope our research findings can provide effective information for scientific research, clinical practice, and health policy," said Marzena Hiler, a member of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and one of the main authors of the paper.
