Gum chewers may kick the habit: new study tests xylitol for smoking cessation
NCT ID NCT07240545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether chewing xylitol gum for 4 weeks, along with text reminders, helps daily smokers cut down or quit. About 134 Hong Kong adults who smoke at least one cigarette daily will be split into two groups: one gets the gum and support, the other gets brief advice only. The goal is to see if the gum makes quitting easier and if people find it acceptable.
