Summary

This pilot study tested a smartphone-based program in 105 adult smokers who also used smoke-free nicotine products like e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches. The program included a breath sensor and text coaching to help them switch completely from cigarettes to these products. Researchers measured how many participants stopped smoking cigarettes for at least 7 days by week 12.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pivot cigarette smoking cessation program (smartphone app and breath carbon monoxide sensor)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical, scalable tool to help smokers who have struggled to quit switch to potentially less harmful nicotine products.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The program only measures switching, not long-term health outcomes, and participants still use nicotine.
