Abstract
Compared to the general population, smoking prevalence is higher among people who are on opiate substitution therapy or living with HCV or HIV. This trial will compare the effectiveness, safety and cost- effectiveness of providing VNPs as a nicotine replacement therapy to these populations. Two conditions will be compared:
(i) concurrent delivery of VNP with standard smoking cessation treatment; versus, (ii) sequential delivery of VNP 6 months after quit attempt with standard smoking cessation treatment for participants who do not achieve or maintain abstinence after baseline quit attempt.
