Nicotine Replacement Therapy - Nicotine Patch
Nicotine Patch: Participants will receive nicotine patch (21 mg) starting study Week 1. Participants will be instructed to apply a new patch each morning.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy + E-cigarette
Nicotine Patch: Participants will receive nicotine patch (21 mg) starting study Week 1. Participants will be instructed to apply a new patch each morning. E-cigarette: The e-cigarette will consist of 1) a 3.3 V, 1000 mAh battery; and 2) a 1.5 Ohm, dual-coil cartomizer (SmokTech; Shenzhen, China). Study staff will load the cartomizer with 1 ml tobacco flavored 70% propylene glycol/30% vegetable glycerin liquid containing nicotine concentrations 36 mg/ml (AVAIL; Richmond, Virginia, USA).
