Comparing e-cigarettes to standard quitting aids for people in addiction treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help people who are in treatment for substance use also quit or reduce smoking: using e-cigarettes or using standard nicotine replacement therapy (like patches or gum). If you're ready to make a change in your smoking, this could be a helpful option.
