Abstract

A New Zealand smoking cessation study that compared 25 days of treatment with the plant‐based alkaloid cytisine vs. 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy found better abstinence outcomes with cytisine. The partial agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors exceeded the expectations of researchers, who had hypothesized that cytisine would be at least as effective as nicotine replacement therapy in helping smokers to quit.
