USE OF A COMBINATION OF AN ANTI-SMOKING COMPOSITION AND A DIETARY COMPOSITION IN SMOKING CESSATION

摘要

A combination of a dietary composition and an anti-smoking composition which has the effect of increasing the number of people successfully completing a cure of smoking cessation and/or nicotine dependence. The dietary composition has a calorie content equivalent to a maximum of 1200 kcal per day. Used in combination with an anti-smoking composition, the dietary composition generates a higher rate of success with respect to smoking cessation as compared to a conventional anti-smoking composition. The dietary composition may be a VLCD (very low calorie diet) comprising a calorie content equivalent to about 400 to 800 kcal per day, when used to replace a full-diet. The dietary composition can also be in the form of a LCD (low calorie diet) comprising a calorie content equivalent to about 800-1200 kcal per day. The dietary composition can be used for providing a preparation for promoting smoking cessation and/or treatment of nicotine dependence.
