NCT ID NCT06688539
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a common stop-smoking medication (varenicline) plus financial incentives can help adults aged 18-40 who use both e-cigarettes and cannabis quit vaping. All 105 participants will receive the drug and rewards for 12 weeks. Researchers will also track how cannabis use changes during the quit attempt.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
varenicline (a stop-smoking medication) and financial incentives
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective treatment for quitting e-cigarettes in people who also use cannabis, a group often excluded from cessation studies.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 4 trial with only 105 participants and no placebo group, so results may not apply broadly. Varenicline can cause side effects like nausea and sleep disturbances.
