A trial comparing electronic cigarettes with nicotine replacement therapy to stop smoking (TEC)

The trial compared electronic cigarettes with nicotine replacement therapy. To determine if e-cigarettes were as helpful or more helpful in assisting with stopping smoking.

People who want to reduce the risks of smoking might choose electronic cigarettes. Because they:

• copy the action of smoking

• are much safer than conventional cigarettes

This trial was open for people to join between May 2015 and February 2018. These results were published in 2019.
