At 6 months, the biochemically validated rate of quitting was 15.7% for those who received e-cigarettes, 14.2% for those who received varenicline, and 8.8% for those who chewed nicotine gum.

Similar to the relationship between e-cigarettes and nicotine gum, use of varenicline vs. nicotine gum was linked to elevated odds for abstinence (adjusted OR = 1.82; 95% CI, 1.07-3.08).
