Summary

This study tests whether a program of counselling and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help e-cigarette users quit vaping. 180 regular vapers will be randomly assigned to receive either counselling alone or counselling plus NRT. Researchers will track self-reported quitting rates over 12 months to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and counselling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an evidence-based approach to help e-cigarette users quit vaping.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. NRT is not approved for vaping cessation, and the study is still early.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
