The smoking cessation efficacy of a two-session group program using the American Lung Association's "Freedom from Smoking" self-help manuals, nicotine gum, and brief, repeated professional supervision was estimated in an uncontrolled clinical trial. Of the 39 participants, 12 (31%) remained cigarette free for 1 year, and 4 others (10%) had not smoked during the 3 months prior to the 1-year follow-up. Claims of cessation were verified by expired-air carbon monoxide measurement. Nearly all successful abstainers were able to achieve 48-hr cessation during their first week using the gum. This finding suggests that nicotine gum is best used to help the smoker quit abruptly, rather than as an aid in a tapering-off strategy. This study's smoking intervention program appears to provide a relatively low-cost method of improving the success rates among smokers who wish to quit.
在一项非对照临床试验中，评估了一个使用美国肺脏协会的《摆脱吸烟》自助手册、尼古丁口香糖以及简短且反复的专业指导的两阶段团体项目的戒烟效果。39名参与者中，12人（31%）持续1年未吸烟，另外4人（10%）在1年随访前的3个月内未吸烟。通过呼出气体一氧化碳测量来验证戒烟声明。几乎所有成功戒烟者在使用口香糖的第一周内都能实现48小时不吸烟。这一发现表明，尼古丁口香糖最适合用于帮助吸烟者突然戒烟，而不是作为逐渐减少吸烟量策略的辅助手段。该研究的吸烟干预项目似乎提供了一种相对低成本的方法，可以提高希望戒烟的吸烟者的成功率。
