This is a randomized trial comparing electronic cigarettes (e-Cigarettes) to nicotine gum for smoking cessation. Participants will be randomly assigned to either e-cigarette use or nicotine gum use during a quit attempt. All participants will have a one hour meeting with a tobacco treatment specialist to develop a quit plan and set a quit date. Quit status will be determined at 12 weeks after the quit date. Continued use of nicotine replacement (either e-Cigarette or nicotine gum) and satisfaction with the treatment assignment will be evaluated.
