title: [Modification of smoking behavior using long-distance methods].
abstract: 906 persons willing to quit smoking were allocated at random to several groups. The results show that (1) an extract of avena sativa has no effect on quantity smoked; (2) distribution of the various parts of a smoking cessation program over several days was no more effective than distribution at once; (3) stopping at once was more effective than progressive reduction of cigarettes smoked.
