Aiding quitting cigarette?


In Korea, we have several types of cigarettes which help quit smoking.

So can I say that, "aiding smoking cigarette"?

Also as you can see the picture, we do have electronic cigarette. So how can I say? Thank you

'Electronic cigarette' is a good term. It has already been abbreviated to 'e-cigarette', as a matter of fact. 'Aiding smoking cigarette' is both awkward and incorrect in implication.
