Two tests were made of the withdrawal-relief explanation of the improvements in performance obtained with smoking. Study 1 examined the extent to which abstinence from smoking produced poorer performance in smokers in comparison with non-smokers. No evidence was obtained of differences in performance in smokers who were deprived of cigarettes for 10 h and non-smokers. Study 2 tested smokers with a standard cigarette or sham smoking after one hour and 12 h of deprivation. There was no difference in performance for the two deprivation intervals either in the sham smoking condition, or after smoking the lit cigarette. This study gave no evidence for withdrawal-relief being an explanation of the improvements in performance obtained with smoking.
针对吸烟带来的表现改善的戒断缓解解释进行了两项测试。研究1考察了与不吸烟者相比，戒烟在多大程度上会使吸烟者的表现变差。未获得证据表明被剥夺香烟10小时的吸烟者与不吸烟者在表现上存在差异。研究2在剥夺香烟1小时和12小时后，用标准香烟或假吸烟测试吸烟者。在假吸烟条件下或吸点燃香烟后，两个剥夺时间段的表现均无差异。这项研究没有提供证据支持戒断缓解是吸烟带来的表现改善的一种解释。
