“Participants were 649 adult smokers enrolled in smoking cessation treatment. Participants completed a baseline (pre-quit) assessment with follow-up at 4-, 12-, and 26-weeks after a scheduled combustible cigarette (CC) cessation date. EC use was described before and after the CC cessation date, and the impact of baseline EC use on CC cessation at follow-up was evaluated.”
Summary Findings: “Baseline dual CC/EC users were more CC dependent than CC-only users. EC use prior to a CC quit attempt was not associated with CC cessation. More frequent baseline EC use predicted a lower likelihood of CC cessation.”
