Cessation of Dual Use of Cigarettes and E-cigarettes During Pregnancy

We propose a randomized controlled trial to develop and evaluate a cessation program with two different strategies for dual users during pregnancy. We plan to enroll 45 pregnant mothers (≤20 gestational weeks) with low household incomes from the Western NY region. To be eligible, they must be currently dual using CCs and nicotine-containing ECs. These mothers will be randomized into one of three groups: 1) simultaneous cessation intervention group (N=15), 2) stepwise cessation intervention group (N=15), and 3) control group (N=15). We hypothesize that nicotine abstinence rates at 8 weeks after randomization will be higher in the intervention groups than in the control group.
