[edit] Content moved from Tobacco smoking

I just moved a ton of content here from the Tobacco smoking article. I didn't write it - heck, I barely read it - and I don't know anything about NRT so I don't feel qualified to try and edit it. So, here you go, do with as you will.


Note on Edit 6.09.06 This could be an important resource for many smokers looking for help to quit. I've tried to stress the advantages of using NRT, it is an important weapon in the war against tobacco, many people find it useful in quitting. It is crucially, clinically proven to double your chance of quitting successfully.

[edit] Usefullness of NRT

This linkpage has some interesting links that challenge the efficacy of NRT. For example this JAMA article on the effectiveness of over the counter sales and this discussion on some flaws in the blinding of the NRT clinical studies (cf. links). I suggest the 'clinically proven' part be left out of the article until it really has been proven. Beck 08:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
