Summary
This study tests whether the nicotine concentration in vape pods affects how well smokers can quit. 312 adult smokers who want to quit will use either low or high nicotine salt e-liquids for three months, plus receive counseling. The goal is to see if higher nicotine levels lead to more people staying smoke-free.
