Quitting Smoking
Study Findings:
- Long-term counseling and medication can help improve the odds that smokers will be able to quit smoking.
- Those who received the long-term medication and counseling had much better smoking-cessation results (50 percent) than those who received short-term medication and counseling. Those who received long-term counseling and placebo had a smoking cessation rate of 42 percent. The group that received short-term placebo and counseling had the lowest success rates for quitting smoking.
