    Specific interventions to prevent smoking relapse show no proven benefit for recent quitters. More research is needed to identify effective strategies for long-term smoking cessation success.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Behavioral Science
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Many smokers relapse after initial quit attempts, necessitating relapse prevention strategies.
    • Existing treatments aid initial cessation, but long-term success remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of specific interventions aimed at preventing relapse in recent smokers.
    • To determine if relapse prevention strategies reduce the rate of return to smoking.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials.
    • Searched Cochrane Tobacco Addiction group trials register for studies on relapse prevention and maintenance.
    • Included studies with a minimum six-month follow-up, comparing interventions to control or standard cessation programs.

    Main Results:

    • Forty heterogeneous studies met inclusion criteria.
    • No significant benefit found for brief, skills-based, or additional relapse prevention components across various smoker groups.
    • Limited evidence suggests interventions focusing on identifying and resolving tempting situations may not be effective, possibly due to study design limitations.

    Conclusions:

    • Insufficient evidence currently supports specific relapse prevention interventions for short-term quitters.
    • Focusing resources on initial smoking cessation support may be more efficient than on additional relapse prevention efforts.
    • Further research with robust study designs is needed to identify effective relapse prevention strategies.
