Behavioral and pharmacological treatment of cigarette smoking: end of treatment comparisons.
Success in a stop-smoking treatment program was compared in patients who received behavioral treatment alone (BT) or behavioral treatment plus Nicorette gum (NT). The proportion of nonsmokers at the end of the 10-week program was higher with the groups receiving BT (82%) than in those receiving NT (50%). While the groups differed in their initial tolerance levels and number of previous quit attempts, the data suggest that the addition of Nicorette gum did not confer a substantial advantage over BT alone.
