Antismoking Effects of Electronic Cigarettes in Subjects With Schizophrenia and Their Potential Influence on Cognitive Functioning.

Sponsor: Universita degli Studi di Catania

Summary

It is well established in studies across several countries that tobacco smoking is more prevalent among schizophrenic patients than the general population. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are becoming increasingly popular with smokers worldwide. To date there are no large randomised trials of e-cigarettes in schizophrenic smokers. A well-designed trial is needed to compare efficacy and safety of these products in this special population.
