New recommendations from the Harm Reduction Work Group of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco's Treatment Research Network, with contributions from researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, encourage clinicians to include nicotine e-cigarettes alongside other evidence-based smoking cessation options when counseling adults who smoke cigarettes.

The guidance is intended to help more people quit combustible cigarettes while correcting common misconceptions about nicotine e-cigarettes and supporting informed, patient-centered conversations about smoking cessation.
