The Duke researcher who works on smoking cessation thinks the Food and Drug Administration should do more to get e‐cigarettes to be used for nicotine treatment. Jed Rose, Ph.D., who directs the Duke Center for Smoking Cessation, co‐invented the nicotine patch and thinks e‐cigarettes are “one of the most promising developments in the field of smoking cessation.” Rose has studied nicotine for the past 40 years. He believes smokers don't just crave nicotine — they crave the physical action of smoking. Even smoking a cigarette with no nicotine in it gives them relief, he said. The Duke center is doing a Juul trial to see if it can help people quit smoking.
