Studies in US and Louisiana aim to aid smoking cessation
Clinical study in Rochester seeks adult volunteers to quit smoking with compensation up to $1,675; Louisiana launches "Live Vape Free" app for teens.

The Rochester Clinical Research in the United States is currently seeking adult volunteers aged 18 years and above who hope to quit smoking for a 12-week study. Apparently, the compensation for participating in this study may be as high as $1,675, which covers travel expenses and time spent on the study.

 

This study is evaluating the effectiveness of phase two drugs in helping adults quit smoking," a notice on the Rochester Clinical Research website stated.

 

Meanwhile, the Louisiana Smoke-Free Living campaign has teamed up with Louisiana Well-Ahead to launch the "Live Vape Free" initiative. This is a tool designed to help teenagers quit vaping through the use of an application.

 

The cessation manager of Louisiana's Smoke-Free Living campaign, Chrishelle Stipe, has announced efforts to incorporate smoking cessation tools in mobile devices, in response to an increased usage of e-cigarettes among youth. "Since 2015, the proportion of Louisiana's youth using e-cigarettes has actually doubled," stated Stipe. The app is aimed at engaging young adults through online activities.
