NCT ID NCT06554873
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether smokers who quickly respond to nicotine alternatives (like patches, e-cigarettes, or pouches) can keep smoking less or stop entirely for 6 months. 150 healthy adult smokers who reduced their smoking by at least half within 2 weeks were followed. The goal was to see if using these products long-term helps maintain lower smoking levels or quitting.
