Two types of acupuncture therapy, one aimed specifically at smoking withdrawal and the other aimed at enhancing relaxation, were compared with self-monitoring in 75 healthy men that wished to stop smoking. During the 2 weeks following treatment there was no significant difference in the adjusted mean daily smoking rates of the subjects receiving acupuncture therapy of the two types, but their combined rate was significantly lower than the rate of the subjects in the self-monitoring group. However, at 1, 3, and 6 months following treatment there were no longer statistically significant differences between the three treatment groups in the adjusted mean smoking rates. At no time were there significant differences between the three treatment groups in the proportion of subjects that stopped smoking during the study. Although acupuncture appears to have become a popular treatment for cigarette smokers, its effectiveness remains to be proven in the treatment of tobacco addiction.
在75名希望戒烟的健康男性中，将两种针灸疗法（一种专门针对戒烟，另一种旨在增强放松效果）与自我监测进行了比较。在治疗后的两周内，接受两种针灸疗法的受试者调整后的平均每日吸烟率没有显著差异，但它们的综合比率显著低于自我监测组受试者的比率。然而，在治疗后的1个月、3个月和6个月，三个治疗组在调整后的平均吸烟率上不再有统计学上的显著差异。在研究期间，三个治疗组在戒烟受试者比例方面在任何时候都没有显著差异。尽管针灸似乎已成为治疗吸烟者的一种流行疗法，但其在治疗烟草成瘾方面的有效性仍有待证实。
