New study tests if nicotine patches and counseling can help vapers quit
NCT ID NCT06164678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program of counselling and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help e-cigarette users quit vaping. 180 regular vapers will be randomly assigned to receive either counselling alone or counselling plus NRT. Researchers will track self-reported quitting rates over 12 months to see which approach works better.

- Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and counselling
- What this could lead to
