Changing nicotine in e-cigarettes to reduce harm
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests how changing the amount of nicotine in e-cigarettes affects people's behavior. It looks at two groups: young adults who already vape and older adult smokers who want to try vaping, to see if different nicotine levels can help reduce smoking or make vaping safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a young adult (21-24) who uses only e-cigarettes for at least 3 months, or an older adult (25-65) who smokes daily and is curious about e-cigarettes.
- You must be willing to stop all nicotine, tobacco, and marijuana for 12 hours (for one part of the study) or 2 hours (for another part).

This study compares different nicotine products to understand how they affect your body. Researchers will measure your heart rate, breathing, and blood samples during three short lab visits. The results may help scientists better understand nicotine's effects.
This study tests whether using e-cigarettes with a tobacco flavor or a non-tobacco flavor helps people who smoke switch away from regular cigarettes. Participants will use either e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapy for a period of time, and researchers will track their smoking behavior.
This study looks at how nicotine from e-cigarettes is absorbed by the body compared to regular cigarettes. It may help if you are a daily smoker who also uses e-cigarettes or just smokes cigarettes, and you are willing to stay in a clinic for 10 days.
This study tests how new e-cigarette ingredients affect adults who already use e-cigarettes. You may be asked to avoid tobacco and nicotine briefly before sessions so researchers can measure effects more clearly.
This study compares how nicotine from e-cigarettes enters the body compared to regular cigarettes. It may help if you smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day and want to try e-cigarettes in a supervised setting.
This study tests whether switching to e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches can help smokers who have tried many times to quit. If you are a heavy smoker (at least 5 cigarettes a day) and have failed to quit before, this trial may offer a new way to reduce harm from smoking.
