Journal Article
Huang, Y., Emery, J., Naughton, F., Cooper, S., McDaid, L., Dickinson, A., …Coleman, T. (2022). The development and acceptability testing of an app-based smart survey system to record smoking behaviour, use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and e-cigarettes.

Objective: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) helps people stop smoking. Monitoring treatment adherence is important as poor adherence to NRT limits its effectiveness. As e-cigarettes contain nicotine, their use (‘vaping’) is likely to affect both NR...
