Effects of e-cigarettes versus nicotine replacement therapy on short-term smoking abstinence when delivered at a community pharmacy

Sharon Cox, Lynne Dawkins, Jay Doshi, and James Cameron

An EC intervention was significantly more effective for smoking cessation than NRT in this community pharmacy.
