Electronic Cigarettes or Nicotine Inhaler for Smoking Cessation
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Tobacco Use Disorder
In brief
Electronic cigarettes have shown promise but have yet to proven effective for smoking cessation. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes in smokers who are trying to quit smoking compared with a standard therapy, the nicotine inhaler. The investigators hypothesize that electronic cigarettes will be comparable to the nicotine inhaler in terms of smoking cessation.
