New study offers e-cigarettes and quit-smoking pill to 6,000 hard-to-treat smokers

This study looks at whether e-cigarettes or a medicine called cytisine can help people who still smoke at least 5 cigarettes a day even after trying nicotine patches, gum, or counseling. Over 4 years, 6,000 participants will be randomly given either an e-cigarette starter kit or a 28-day supply of cytisine. Researchers will track how many people use these options and whether they smoke less or quit, aiming to find better ways to help smokers who haven't succeeded with standard treatments.
