About This Cigarette Smoking Study in Charleston

This study evaluates whether non-cigarette tobacco products (e-cigarettes) can help smokers quit smoking as compared to traditional quit methods (nicotine replacement therapy or varenicline/Chantix). Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, then will have a choice between the offered products of that group. Participants in the e-cigarette group will have a choice of e-cigarette brand and flavor. Participants in the medication group will have choice between nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) or varenicline, also known as Chantix. Participation will last 6 months and will include weekly phone calls for the initial 7-weeks plus a 11-week phone call and a 6-month follow-up visit. Participants will also complete electronic daily diaries during the first 7-weeks.
