Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Pragmatic Clinical Trial
A Pragmatic Trial of E-Cigarettes, Incentives, and Drugs for Smoking Cessation.
Whether financial incentives, pharmacologic therapies, and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) promote smoking cessation among unselected smokers is unknown. ⋯ In this pragmatic trial of smoking cessation, financial incentives added to free cessation aids resulted in a higher rate of sustained smoking abstinence than free cessation aids alone. Among smokers who received usual care (information and motivational text messages), the addition of free cessation aids or e-cigarettes did not provide a benefit. (Funded by the Vitality Institute; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02328794 .).
