NJOY also manufactured the non‐nicotine placebo EC. Both nicotine and placebo ECs were tobacco‐flavoured. The products were purchased by the investigators and provided to the participants free of charge. Other stop‐smoking pharmacotherapies: none Behavioural support: Prior to receiving the ECs, participants were required to complete a 20‐ to 30‐minute telephone counselling session with a trained tobacco cessation Counsellor. The purpose of the telephone counselling was to review current smoking patterns and offer behavioural and environmental change strategies. These included specific smoking reduction options, such as eliminating cigarettes at work and in the home, carrying only those cigarettes needed for that day, dropping cigarettes associated with less intense triggers first, avoiding smoking triggers, and other strategies to manage urges. 18 participants were asked to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked daily by at least 50% of the total number of cigarettes smoked per day at baseline. To mimic real‐life EC use, minimum EC use instruction was provided. Participants were encouraged to replace cigarettes with as much or as little use of an EC as needed in order to reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms. , .
