Switching individuals in OUD treatment from cigarettes to the standardized research e-cigarette: A randomized waitlist-controlled cross-over trial.
Researchers gave e-cigarettes to people with opioid addiction who smoked cigarettes but didn't want to quit. Those receiving e-cigarettes reduced their daily cigarette consumption by more than half over 8 weeks, while the control group showed minimal reduction. Their smoking-related toxin exposure also decreased significantly, with no negative effects on their opioid treatment.
