First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving e-cigarettes to cancer patients who smoke—and who have turned down standard quitting help—can help them switch away from regular cigarettes. About 208 adults with cancer will either receive an e-cigarette and support to switch, or standard care with referrals to quit programs. The main goal is to see how many completely stop smoking cigarettes after 6 months.
