Summary
This clinical trial compares the use of tobacco flavored electronic cigarettes (ECs) vs. non-tobacco flavored ECs vs. nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) on smoking behavior in current cigarette smokers. ECs may reduce cigarette craving and withdrawal symptoms, increase motivation and confidence to stop cigarette smoking, and decrease cigarette smoking and dependence. By comparing participants' preferred flavor ECs (PEC) to tobacco flavor ECs (TEC) to NRT, researchers hope to determine the effect of EC flavors on appeal and use and learn how ECs affect smoking behaviors and health.
