Summary

This study tests whether semaglutide, a drug used for diabetes, can help people with type 2 diabetes quit smoking. About 100 adults in Ontario who smoke at least 5 cigarettes daily will receive the drug alongside nicotine replacement therapy. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, and researchers will check if participants have quit smoking after 6 months.
