E-Cigarette study for schizophrenia smokers pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT01979796
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to test whether electronic cigarettes could help people with schizophrenia quit or reduce smoking. It planned to enroll smokers with schizophrenia from Sicily and compare e-cigarettes with nicotine, without nicotine, and a nicotine-free inhaler. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.
