Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app with AI can help adolescents aged 14-20 quit e-cigarettes. Participants use the app to set goals, track progress, and get real-time support during cravings. Researchers compare an immediate-use group with a delayed-start group to see if the app improves quitting success.
