  • Title: Cigarette smoking, nicotine dependence, and treatment.
    Author: Sees KL.
    Journal: West J Med; 1990 May; 152(5):578-84. PubMed ID: 2190425.
    Abstract:
    Since the 1988 Surgeon General's report on nicotine addiction, more attention is being given to nicotine dependence as a substantial contributing factor in cigarette smokers' inability to quit. Many new medications are being investigated for treating nicotine withdrawal and for assisting in long-term smoking abstinence. Medications alone probably will not be helpful; they should be used as adjuncts in comprehensive smoking abstinence programs that address not only the physical dependence on nicotine but also the psychological dependence on cigarette smoking.
