Varenicline for E-cigarette Cessation
This study is testing if a medication called varenicline (Chantix) can help people stop using e-cigarettes. You might be able to join if you are an adult, use e-cigarettes daily, and live in Connecticut or South Carolina. You cannot join if you use other tobacco products, have certain medical conditions, or are already getting treatment to quit tobacco. Participants will either receive varenicline or a placebo (an inactive pill that looks like the study drug) for 12 weeks, along with counseling. The main goal is to see how many people successfully quit e-cigarettes by week 12. The current status of this study is unclear.

- What's involved
