Some smokers chew nicotine gum in an effort to quit, but instead of parking a slightly masticated piece between cheek and gum, they chomp the little squares like a wad of Bazooka.

　　一些吸烟者为了戒烟，会选择咀嚼一种戒烟口香糖，但是他们不会轻轻的去咀嚼并将口香糖在腮部与牙床间多唅一会儿，而是像吃一条普通的Bazooka泡泡糖一样，大口大口地去嚼它。

　　Others get the urge to smoke while wearing a nicotine patch, and since they've heard the false story that smoking while using the patch will cause a heart attack, they tear off the patch and light up and they're back to smoking, Lerman said.

　　还有一些戒烟者，当他们贴着戒烟贴布并极为想“来一根儿”时，他们就会撕掉贴布，点燃香烟，重回烟民行列。而这是因为他们听信了一些关于戒烟贴布的谣言，那就是贴着它时抽烟则会引发心脏病。

The lesson is that if you're trying to quit, whether using an over-the-counter method or a prescribed medication, follow the directions and your chance of success will increase.

　　从以上事例中，我们可以认识到：如果你正在试图戒烟，无论是使用非处方的或者医师给出的治疗方式，只要你遵照各项说明，那么你成功的机会就会大大增加。

　　But following directions with e-cigarettes may be moot. Lerman says she doesn't have any e-cigarette stories because none of her clients has mentioned that method of trying to quit.

　　但是就算你谨遵说明使用电子香烟，它的戒烟效果依然有待商榷。勒曼说她手上没有任何关于电子香烟的案例，因为在她所指导的戒烟者中，没有一个人向她提起过用电子香烟去戒烟的事情。

She also noted that a recent study at Virginia Commonwealth University found that e-cigarettes offer poor delivery of the drug smokers crave.E-cigarettes vaporize liquid containing nicotine.

　　同时，她也指出，维吉尼亚州立大学最近发现，电子香烟对于减弱吸烟者的烟瘾作用甚微。而电子香烟是利用气化内部含有的尼古丁的液体的原理制成的。

　　But the Federal Drug Administration has concerns about chemicals in e-cig cartridges, and the recent Virginia study says that besides possible health dangers, the battery-powered butts deal a weak dose of nicotine.

　　尽管如此，美国联邦食品药物管理局已经着手研究电子香烟中的化学成分，而维吉尼亚大学最近的研究报告宣称，电子香烟不仅对人体存在潜在的伤害，而且还会让使用者摄入微量的尼古丁。
