Background and aims
The majority of smokers accessing the current best treatments continue to smoke. We aimed to test if e‐cigarettes (EC) compared with nicotine replacement treatment (NRT) can help such smokers to reduce smoking.
Design
Randomized controlled trial of EC (n = 68) versus NRT (n = 67) with 6‐month follow‐up.
Setting
Stop smoking service in London, UK.
Participants
A total of...

Design
A two‐arm, parallel‐group, individually randomized, double‐blind, controlled trial.

A total of 5293 daily smokers (Stop‐tabac = 2639, control = 2654) enrolled on app stores and on the internet in 2019–20, who lived in France or Switzerland.
Intervention and comparator...
