Abstract

The magnitude of nicotine replacement among previous smokers was examined among the special intervention group in the Lung Health Study by measuring the ad-libitum levels of nicotine polacrilex gum (NG) usage over a span of five-years of free access. Approximately two-thirds of the subjects initially quit smoking using NG during the first four months. The results revealed that successful quitters used an average of eight NG per day and that those using NG while still smoking consumed an average of six to seven pieces per day.

Abstract

The smoking cessation programs of the Lung Health Study are evaluated. It was found that 47% of the males who participated in the Restart programs have stopped smoking after the fifth year, compared to 28% who continued smoking. Forty-two percent of the women participants also stopped smoking while 33% failed to quit. It is concluded that the programs must be studied further to make them more effective in preventing relapse.
