Summary
This study tests whether adding accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (aTMS) to the quit-smoking drug varenicline helps adults stop using nicotine products like vaping or smoking. Thirty adults who want to quit will take varenicline daily for 12 weeks and receive either real or fake aTMS for 5 days. Researchers will check if the combination leads to higher quit rates and lower cravings.
