First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving smokers who don't want to quit a choice of less harmful nicotine products (like e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches) can help them smoke less or stop entirely. About 472 adult smokers will be randomly assigned to try either a harm-reduction product or standard nicotine patches and lozenges for 4 weeks. Researchers will track their smoking habits for 6 months to see if this approach leads to lasting changes.
