First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will enroll 70 adult smokers to compare how appealing and addictive different e-cigarettes are versus their usual cigarettes and nicotine gum. Participants will try each product in a random order during an 8-day stay at a clinic. Researchers will measure how much nicotine gets into the blood and how users feel, to help understand abuse potential.
