Pharmacological Interventions for Electronic Cigarette Cessation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses

Varenicline has demonstrated efficacy in supporting e-cigarette cessation, whereas the current evidence for NRT and cytisine remains insufficient to draw firm conclusions. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify the effectiveness of these 2 interventions. Although pharmacotherapies used for cigarette smoking show potential for repurposing, their utility in e-cigarette cessation should be interpreted cautiously until stronger evidence becomes available.

Abstract

Varenicline has demonstrated efficacy in supporting e-cigarette cessation, whereas the current evidence for NRT and cytisine remains insufficient to draw firm conclusions. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify the effectiveness of these 2 interventions. Although pharmacotherapies used for cigarette smoking show potential for repurposing, their utility in e-cigarette cessation should be interpreted cautiously until stronger evidence becomes available.
