title: [Empirical basis for breaking the tobacco smoking habit].
abstract: Tobacco smoking generally regarded as a form of nicotine dependence. The behavioural effects of nicotine and its relative reinforcing properties, as well as the development of tolerance and withdrawal syndrome indicate that nicotine has addiction liability, which is however not strongly marked. Nicotine replacement therapy, low nicotine smoke aerosol and citric acid aerosol as potential smoking cessation aids are discussed.
