5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease worldwide. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation compared to a similar nicotine replacement therapy, the nicotine inhaler.
