Dental professionals can be effective tobacco prevention and cessation partners. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), which deliver aerosolized nicotine but fewer toxicants than found in cigarette smoke, present new and contentious questions for clinicians, patients, and researchers. Evidence suggests e-cigarettes are not harmless but are less dangerous than cigarettes. Smoking cessation effectiveness is unproven and oral and systemic health effects remain under study. Dental professionals must stay informed to provide patients truthful information as new data emerge.
牙科专业人员可以成为有效的烟草预防和戒烟伙伴。电子烟通过雾化方式输送尼古丁，但其所含的有毒物质比香烟烟雾中的要少，这给临床医生、患者和研究人员带来了新的、有争议的问题。有证据表明，电子烟并非无害，但比香烟危害小。电子烟在戒烟方面的有效性尚未得到证实，其对口腔和全身健康的影响仍在研究中。随着新数据的出现，牙科专业人员必须随时了解情况，以便为患者提供真实信息。
