Nice that the Duke folks say the same thing as has been said here many times:

In a small pilot study, the solution proved effective. Twenty-five smokers chose a date to quit and were given the solution to mix into their beverages with instructions to use it as needed for smoking urges during a 12-week period. Participants drank between 2.5 milligrams to 10 milligrams of the solution per beverage. Abstinence rates reported by participants were 28 percent at 4 weeks, 24 percent at 3 months, and 20 percent at 6 months.

But they don't say what the strength of the solution was. And I wonder how those abstinence rates would stack up against a well-run vaping survey with subjects who want to quit and start out with favorable equipment and liquid.
