New study aims to help pregnant moms quit smoking and vaping at once
NCT ID NCT07124702
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study enrolls 45 pregnant women who use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Participants are split into three groups: one that tries to quit both at the same time, one that quits cigarettes first then e-cigarettes, and a control group. All receive counseling, feedback on nicotine levels, and financial rewards for staying nicotine-free. The goal is to see which approach works best for achieving and maintaining nicotine abstinence during pregnancy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (counseling, biomarker feedback, and financial incentives)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective program to help pregnant women quit both smoking and vaping, improving health for mother and baby.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-stage trial (45 participants) and may not show clear results. Quitting nicotine is difficult, and relapse is common.
