title: [Results of clinical use of nicorette in the treatment of tobacco smokers].
abstract: The results of nicorette therapy in 51 patients with tobacco dependence were analysed. Among the total number of patients 14 had ideational, 8 psychosomatic and 29 dissociated tobacco dependence. A year follow-up shows that 20 patients gave up smoking (predominantly with dissociated tobacco dependence). The clinical aspects of a reverse dynamics of the symptoms of a pathological tobacco addition, with consideration of the type of tobacco dependence and premorbid features of the course of mental cognition, show that nicorette possesses a certain clinical spectrum of action suppressing the activity of a secondary ideational component of pathological tobacco addiction. Nicorette may raise the level of a clinico-differential therapeutic approach aimed at giving up smoking in the form of monotherapy or a combined therapy with the use of tranquillizers, neuroleptics and antidepressants.
