This 4-year RCT will enroll 240 opioids users in methadone maintenance treatment who smoke cigarettes and are interested in nicotine replacement therapy. Participants will be assigned to either 6-weeks of electronic cigarette (JUUL) use or 6-weeks of nicotine lozenge use. Researchers will assess various smoking and health-related outcomes such as nicotine intake, tobacco toxicant exposure, lung functioning via spirometry, and respiratory symptoms over the course of 6 weeks. Participants in the electronic cigarette (JUUL) condition will be contacted 4-weeks post-intervention to discuss use of any combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or other nicotine products.
