Association between use of nicotine replacement therapy for harm reduction and smoking cessation: a prospective study of English smokers

Conclusions The use of NRT for SR or TA appears to be positively associated with subsequent attempts to quit smoking and abstinence among smokers in England, despite very little apparent effect on daily cigarette consumption. With replication, these findings support the potential benefit of using NRT for harm reduction but primarily as a means of promoting cessation. (Source: Tobacco Control)

Cigarette butts near building entrances: what is the impact of smoke-free college campus policies?

Such policies likely provide a more healthful environment for students, staff, faculty and visitors. (Source: Tobacco Control)

Conclusions Questions still remain as to whether physical appearance interventions have an impact on smoking attitudes, intentions or behaviours, particularly in British samples. To inform practice, additional, well-designed, studies are needed. They should include control groups, use robust randomised allocation to conditions, measures with established reliability and validity and take measures pre and post intervention.
