Scheduled reduced smoking: effects on smoking abstinence and potential mechanisms of action

Article Abstract:

Scheduled reduced smoking is a promising approach in manipulating smoking behavior prior to quitting, thus enhancing cessation rates. Compared to gradual reduction and abrupt quitting or 'cold turkey' techniques, scheduled reduced smoking exhibited superior abstinence rates. It has been found to improve adaptation to nonsmoking and minimize vulnerability to relapse, as gleaned from pattern of results observed for abstinence, withdrawal, negative affect and smoking urges.
