The University of East Anglia (UEA) led a study that found that giving out free e-cigarette starter packs in hospital emergency departments to smokers helped one in four people quit.
The research has been published in the journal Addiction.
The trial took place across six UK hospitals. The research explored the different ways people transitioned from smoking to vaping after receiving the e-cigarette smoking cessation intervention.
