Electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDs) use has increased in prevalence over the last decade, which has led to questions about their public health impact. In this article, we explore the emergent research on the relative health effects of using ENDs versus combustible cigarettes, whether ENDs can be utilized to promote nicotine cessation, and whether the advent of ENDs' may lead to an increase in nicotine use and dependence. Extant research on ENDs' acute health effects find them to be lesser than use of combustible cigarettes. ENDs do not appear to be efficacious as an immediate cessation aid, and may be a 'gateway' to adolescent nicotine use. However, in the absence of longitudinal research, a determination of ENDs as a nicotine harm-reduction approach is premature.
电子尼古丁传送系统（ENDS）在过去十年中的使用越来越普遍，这引发了人们对其公共健康影响的疑问。在本文中，我们探讨了关于使用 ENDS 与可燃香烟相对健康影响的新兴研究，探讨了 ENDS 是否可用于促进尼古丁戒断，以及 ENDS 的出现是否会导致尼古丁使用和依赖的增加。关于 ENDS 急性健康影响的现有研究发现，其影响小于可燃香烟。ENDS 似乎并不能作为立即戒烟的辅助手段，并且可能是青少年尼古丁使用的“入口”。然而，由于缺乏纵向研究，现在就确定 ENDS 是一种减少尼古丁危害的方法还为时过早。
