New device aims to break vaping addiction without drugs
NCT ID NCT07322432
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests the VapeAway system, a drug-free program that uses special filters to slowly lower nicotine intake, a sensory tool called the Fix Bar, and digital support to help people stop vaping. About 70 motivated adults who vape daily will use the system for 42 days. Researchers want to see if at least 25% can stay vape-free for 30 days after the program, compared to the usual 7% who quit on their own.
