This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how nicotine withdrawal affects people with schizophrenia differently depending on whether they vape or smoke cigarettes. Right now, there's very little research on e-cigarette withdrawal in this population, so scientists don't fully know what symptoms people experience or how to best help them. This study will carefully measure withdrawal effects to help identify better ways to support people who want to quit.
People with schizophrenia use nicotine products at much higher rates than the general population, but we don't know enough about how withdrawal works for them—especially when it comes to e-cigarettes. Understanding these withdrawal patterns could help doctors and counselors develop better treatments and support.

You would attend study visits where researchers measure your withdrawal symptoms through tests and questionnaires after periods of not using your nicotine product. The study compares people who vape daily with people who smoke cigarettes daily to see how their withdrawal experiences differ. You would need to be willing to temporarily stop using your nicotine product during testing periods so researchers can observe and measure what happens.
