People living with HIV (PLHIV) are two to three times more likely to smoke tobacco compared to the general community. Evidence from the general population suggests that nicotine vaping products (NVPs) can be acceptable and effective smoking cessation aids, but there is limited evidence on the extent to which this is the case among PLHIV. This manuscript reports findings from the Tobacco Harm Reduction with Vaporised Nicotine (THRiVe) trial, a mixed-methods study investigating the feasibility of NVPs as smoking cessation aids among 29 PLHIV who smoked tobacco. Surveys and semi-structured interviews explored participants' experiences and perceptions of NVPs, their features and functions, and support for various NVP regulatory policy options. Participants described seven reasons why NVPs were acceptable cessation aids: they satisfied nicotine cravings; differences between NVPs and cigarettes facilitated habit breaking; fewer adverse effects compared to traditional cessation aids; NVPs allowed for a "weaning process" rather than requiring abrupt abstinence; tobacco became increasingly unpleasant to smoke; NVPs provided an increased sense of control; and participants experienced a deeper understanding of personal smoking behaviours. This study provides valuable insight into the preferred features of NVPs among PLHIV and reasons why NVPs may be effective for promoting smoking cessation among PLHIV.
