A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine compared the effectiveness of varenicline and nicotine-containing e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. Both were found to be effective compared to a placebo, with no significant difference between the two. The researchers noted that while e-cigarettes may have a role in smoking cessation, varenicline may be a more advisable option due to its effectiveness and safety profile. They recommended varenicline for adults seeking to quit smoking, while suggesting that e-cigarettes may not be suitable for those looking to stop smoking and avoid nicotine addiction. The study highlighted the need for future trials to confirm these results.
