Summary

This study looks at young adults aged 18 to 25 who use both tobacco/nicotine products and cannabis. Researchers want to understand what happens to cannabis use when participants try to quit nicotine. All participants receive remote counseling and incentives to stop using nicotine for 12 weeks, and their cannabis use is tracked along the way.

Active substance: counseling and contingency management
What this could lead to: If successful, this could reveal how cannabis and tobacco interact during quit attempts, potentially guiding better dual-use cessation strategies.
What could go wrong: This is an observational behavioral study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all users, and quitting nicotine may not affect cannabis use as expected.
