Nicotine Medications for Smoking Cessation
Abstract
Cigarettes are among the most addicting products known, and the vast majority of people who quit smoking relapse within days.1,2 In the United States, less than 10 percent of the nearly 20 million people who quit smoking for a day remain abstinent one year later.3 Thus, only 2 to 3 percent of smokers become nonsmokers each year.3 Medications that contain nicotine enable health care providers to increase markedly the ability of their patients to achieve and sustain tobacco abstinence. This review summarizes the scientific rationale for nicotine medications, to help clinicians optimize their use.Pathophysiology of Nicotine AddictionClinical . . .

Medically approved oral smoking cessation aids such as nicotine gum and nicotine lozenges with a higher nicotine content and which give greater nicotine delivery to users have previously been shown to be more effective in assisting smoking cessation than products with a lower nicotine content, particularly in more heavily dependent smokers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
