While real-world quitting surveys find no advantage, their simplicity has been attacked as unscientific by double-blind clinical trial NRT researchers. Now the clinical trial's integrity is in serious question as a new study reports blinding failures in 71% of NRT studies assessing blindness. (PRWeb May 20, 2004)

Historically, roughly 10% of cold turkey attempts result in freedom from nicotine at six months. A new study just released raises concern that although 7% of nicotine gum users quit smoking for six months, almost all of them may still be hooked on nicotine. (PRWeb Nov 10, 2003)
