Abstract
Exploratory survey study of long-term users of nicotine replacement therapy in Danish consumers
Highlights
Results from clinical trials on smoking cessation have shown that highly nicotine dependent smokers are more likely to become long-term users of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
The intervals given in the rows indicate number of NRT doses per day. * Indicates highly nicotine dependent respondents (Score 5-6) = 9.3 % (N=7). # Indicates respondents found low dependent on nicotine (Score 0-1) = 22.7 % (N=17)
The regression line is based on a fractional polynomial regression and includes respondents using acute acting single dose NRT (N=75)
Summary
Results from clinical trials on smoking cessation have shown that highly nicotine dependent smokers are more likely to become long-term users of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Long-term use of NRT has been approved in several countries for smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit smoking. Information on basic characteristics, degree of nicotine dependence, health status and contentment with long-term use of NRT is scarce
