Changes in food consumption and body weight associated with smoking cessation across menstrual cycle phase

Article Abstract:

Dietary intake increased to the same degree in smoking and cessation months in 40 women smokers assigned to smoking cessation for a 10-day period, either during the follicular or the luteal phase of their monthly cycle. No interaction was observed between phase and month. A significant increase in all energy nutrients tested, namely, fat, complex carbohydrates and sugar, was noted from baseline to cessation. However, those who stopped smoking in the luteal phase exhibited a 1.8 kg increase in body weight, while weight remained stable among women who stopped smoking in the follicular phase.

Correlates of adherence with transdermal nicotine

Article Abstract:

The study examined the adherence rates of transdermal nicotine (TN) use among a population of males and females 18 years of age and older, who received varying levels of behavioral intervention. Rates of patch adherence were assessed for demographic, income, smoking and treatment related variables and the findings suggested characteristics of those more and less likely to adhere to TN in research and clinical settings.

Gender differences in the outcome of an unaided smoking cessation attempt

Article Abstract:

A study considered possible gender differences in short-term and long-term abstinence of smoking. Gender differences in potential mediators of relapse were also examined. Relapse rates of unaided quitters were very high, and were similar for men and women, although women were more likely than men to relapse subsequently. Men were more likely to remain as quitters than women in the initial 24 hours.
