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)
