NCT ID NCT06922617

Summary

This study aims to find out if switching completely to e-cigarettes (vapes) is a better way to help people quit smoking while they are in treatment for substance use disorders, compared to using standard nicotine patches and lozenges. It involves 240 adults in South Carolina who smoke and are recently enrolled in outpatient addiction treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapy for 12 weeks to see which approach leads to more people successfully quitting cigarettes.
