Nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation.

C Silagy, T Lancaster, L Stead

    The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
    |July 22, 2004
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) effectively aids smoking cessation, increasing quit rates by 1.5 to 2 times. Various NRT forms, including gum and patches, are beneficial regardless of support intensity.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) aims to reduce withdrawal symptoms during smoking cessation.
    • NRT helps individuals resist the urge to smoke cigarettes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Evaluate the effectiveness of various NRT forms (gum, patches, nasal spray, inhalers, tablets) for smoking abstinence or reduction.
    • Assess NRT effectiveness based on clinical setting, dosage, form, and support intensity.
    • Compare NRT effectiveness against other pharmacotherapies.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing NRT to placebo or no treatment.
    • Included trials with at least six months follow-up and reported cessation rates.
    • Meta-analysis using a Mantel-Haenszel fixed effect model to calculate odds ratios.

    Main Results:

    • NRT use was associated with a 1.77-fold increased odds of smoking abstinence compared to controls.
    • Specific NRT forms showed effectiveness: gum (OR 1.66), patches (OR 1.81), nasal spray (OR 2.35), inhaler (OR 2.14), and sublingual tablets (OR 2.05).
    • Effectiveness was largely independent of support intensity or setting; bupropion showed higher quit rates than nicotine patches in one study.

    Conclusions:

    • All commercially available NRT forms are effective in promoting smoking cessation.
    • NRT approximately doubles the odds of quitting, irrespective of the setting.
    • While additional support is beneficial, it is not essential for NRT success.
