WSMoreOrLess: Do e-cigarettes really harm your chances of quitting smoking?
Research last month claimed to show that e-cigarettes harm your chances of quitting smoking.

It’s been described as "grossly misleading" and "not scientific". We look at what is wrong with the paper and ask if it should have been published in the first place.
