To determine the utility and viability of a chronic care program. ⋯ When assessing the utility of CRONIGICAT, we believe that progress has been made mainly in its implantation, which has acted as a catalyst for a self-directed shift to a better chronic care model and has identified areas for improvement. We believe that the CRONIGICAT is viable and sustainable, since its actions and projects are integrated within routine clinical practice.

The electronic cigarette (e-cig) is a device with a conventional cigarette shape that releases a determined dose of nicotine vapour through an electronic heating process. The nicotine cartridges vary significantly in the amount of nicotine released, even within the same brand. Not all brands admit that they contain nicotine, but this is detected in the majority of units analysed. ⋯ There is currently no scientific evidence available that shows it is an effective device for quitting smoking, thus it should not be pro-actively recommended for this purpose, and may interfere with the use of demonstrated scientific evidence-based treatments for quitting smoking. It may have an undesirable effect on promoting the starting of smoking in adolescents or keeping adult smokers consuming nicotine and on gestural dependency. The toxicity of the vapour is not well known, but it is known that they are not innocuous, thus they should not be used in closed public spaces.
