I've heard that e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes, but do they really help people quit?

The jury is still out on the health benefits of vaping. Some studies have shown it can help reduce cravings for traditional cigarettes and improve overall health. However, there's also some concern that it could be used as a gateway drug into smoking traditional cigarettes. It's important to remember that while e-cigarettes may not contain all the harmful chemicals found in regular cigarettes, they still release nicotine, which can be addictive. So it's best to use them in combination with other methods such as counseling or medication to help you quit smoking.
