Overview

Randomized feasibility trial demonstrates high acceptability and reduced cigarette consumption in smokers with mental health conditions, suggesting viable harm reduction strategies.

Key Points

Smoking cessation and substantial reduction in cigarette consumption favoured the e-cigarette starter kit intervention over usual care alone across community mental health settings.
Cigarette consumption decreased by at least half in 61.9% of intervention participants versus 13.6% of usual care controls at the one-month follow-up evaluation.
Randomised controlled feasibility trial data indicate that offering an e-cigarette starter kit is acceptable and supports harm reduction for smokers with a mental health condition.
