Help me quit smoking but don't make me sick! The controversial effects of electronic cigarettes on tobacco smokers

Résumé

Despite its increasing use, little is known about the effect of electronic cigarette. This study estimates the impact of the use of electronic cigarettes on tobacco smoking and health among tobacco smokers, using French panel data derived from the Health, Health Care, and Insurance Survey for 2010–2014. We use a difference-in-differences propensity score matching approach to identify the effect of electronic cigarette use on a sample of 982 smokers. We show that the use of electronic cigarettes increases the probability of quitting smoking and reduces the number of regular cigarettes smoked per day. However, we also find evidence that electronic cigarette users have a higher probability of reporting poor health status and suffering from a chronic disease compared with those who only smoke regular cigarettes. Overall, our results do not support the use of electronic cigarettes for tobacco smokers.
