Abstract
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy of a nicotine inhaler as an adjunct to smoking cessation. One hundred eleven subjects were randomized to each condition. Subjects received brief individual support regarding proper inhaler use and smoking cessation. Inhalers were used on an ad libitum dose for 3 months. Significant differences in abstinence rates between the two groups were found at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months but not at 12 months after quit day. These results indicate that the nicotine inhaler is an efficacious adjunct to smoking cessation.
