Journal ArticleDOI

A Comparison of Sustained-Release Bupropion and Placebo for Smoking Cessation

TL;DR: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a sustained-release form of bupropion for smoking cessation, which excluded smokers with current depression, but not those with a history of major depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mortality following inpatient addictions treatment. Role of tobacco use in a community-based cohort.

TL;DR: Patients previously treated for alcoholism and/or other nonnicotine drug dependence had an increased cumulative mortality that was due more to tobacco-related than to alcohol-related causes and nicotine dependence treatment is imperative in such high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of bupropion for smoking cessation in smokers with a former history of major depression or alcoholism.

TL;DR: Bupropion is efficacious for smoking cessation independently of a former history of major depression or alcoholism, and increases in depressive symptoms during an initial period of abstinence are associated with a return to smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-dose nicotine patch therapy : percentage of replacement and smoking cessation

TL;DR: A 44-mg/d dose of nicotine patch therapy appears to be safe for use in heavy smokers and monitoring blood cotinine levels at baseline and steady state can be used for assessing the adequacy of nicotine replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Varying Nicotine Patch Dose and Type of Smoking Cessation Counseling

TL;DR: There does not appear to be any general, sustained benefit of initiating transdermal nicotine therapy with a 44-mg patch dose or of providing intense adjuvant smoking cessation treatment.
