Randomized Trial to Compare Smoking Cessation Rates of Snus With and Without Smokeless Tobacco Health-Related Information and a Nicotine Lozenge

摘要

IntroductionNicotine replacement medications are moderately effective in increasing quit rates. However, some smokers reject such aids, suggesting the value of considering alternative options. Snus, a smokeless tobacco product with low nitrosamine content, could offer an alternative. This study compared smoking cessation rates for snus, with and without information about reduced risk relative to smoking, with a nicotine lozenge (without relative risk information).
