Summary

To determine whether smokers who initially respond (within 2 weeks) to nicotine products (including nicotine replacement therapy, e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches) by reducing their smoking by ≥50% can be successfully maintained on use of these noncombustible nicotine alternatives to cigarettes for 6 months, and whether this results in sustained smoking reduction/abstinence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for smokers who have managed to cut their smoking by at least half within two weeks using nicotine products. They should be aiming to maintain this reduction or quit smoking for six months. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, so general health conditions and other factors that typically exclude participants from clinical trials may apply.
What is being tested?
The study tests if smokers can keep up reduced smoking or stop entirely over six months using nicotine alternatives like patches (Nicoderm), lozenges (Nicorette), e-cigarettes (NJOY), gum (Nicorette Gum), and pouches (on!). It checks the adaptability of these products in maintaining long-term changes in smoking habits.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects might include skin irritation from patches, mouth issues from lozenges and gum, throat irritation from e-cigarettes, and nausea or hiccups from nicotine intake. Individual reactions can vary based on product use.
