Combined psychological and nicotine gum treatment for smoking: a critical review.
The results from seven studies suggest that both adding nicotine gum to a psychological therapy and adding a psychological therapy to nicotine gum increase long-term quit rates among smokers. Behavioral mechanisms to account for the increased quit rates are not clear. Suggestions for better reporting of trials and future research are made.
