prevention, defined as a reduction in the incidence of cancer. The PDQ
includes summaries generally classified by histological type of cancer,
especially when there are known risk factors for the specific types of cancer.
This summary addresses a specific risk factor, tobacco use, which is associated
with a large number of different cancers (and other chronic diseases) and
unequivocally contains human carcinogens.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_1_1">1</a>] The focus of this summary is on
clinical interventions by health professionals that decrease the use of
tobacco.</p><div id="CDR0000062879__134"><h3>Effects of Smoking Cessation</h3><p id="CDR0000062879__3">Based on solid evidence, cigarette smoking causes cancers of the lung, oral cavity and pharynx, larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, stomach, uterine cervix, and acute myeloid leukemia.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_1_2">2</a>] Smoking avoidance and smoking cessation result in decreased
incidence and mortality from cancer.

be expected, so the aggregate annual loss exceeds 5 million life-years.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_3">3</a>] These
deaths are primarily due to smoking&#x02019;s role as a major cause of cancer, cardiovascular diseases,
and chronic lung diseases. The known adverse health effects also include other respiratory diseases and symptoms, nuclear cataract, hip fractures, reduced female fertility, and diminished health status. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with fetal growth restriction, low birth weight, and complications of pregnancy.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_4">4</a>] It has been estimated that about 32% of
cancer deaths [<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_1">1</a>] and 20% of all premature deaths in the United States are
attributable to smoking.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_5">5</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__323">Tobacco products are the single, major avoidable cause of cancer, causing more than
155,000 deaths among smokers in the United States annually due to various
cancers.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_6">6</a>] The majority of cancers of the lung, trachea, bronchus, larynx,
pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity, and esophagus are attributable to tobacco products, particularly cigarettes. Smoking is also causally associated with cancers of the pancreas, kidney, bladder, stomach, and

by the example of lung cancer mortality trends. Smoking by women increased
between 1940 and the early 1960s, resulting in a greater than 600% increase in
female lung cancer mortality since 1950. Lung cancer is now the leading cause
of cancer death in women.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_15">15</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_17">17</a>] In the last 30 years, prevalence of current
cigarette use has generally decreased, though far more rapidly in males. Lung
cancer mortality in men peaked in the 1980s, and has been declining since then; this
decrease has occurred predominantly in squamous cell and small cell carcinomas,
the histologic types most strongly associated with smoking.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_15">15</a>] Variations in
lung cancer mortality rates by state also more or less parallel long-standing

cessation. Smokers who quit smoking before age 50 years have up to half the
risk of dying within 15 years compared with people who continue to smoke, and the risk
of dying is reduced substantially even among persons who stop smoking after age
70 years.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_18">18</a>] The risk of lung cancer is 30% to 50% lower than that of continuing

cancer is halved within 5 years of cessation.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_18">18</a>] Smokers who quit also lower

been attempted to effect widespread reduction in or prevention of commencement
of tobacco use. Various efforts at the community, state, and national level
have been credited with reducing the prevalence of smoking over time. These
efforts include, reducing minors&#x02019; access to tobacco products, disseminating effective
school-based prevention curricula together with media strategies, raising the
cost of tobacco products, using tobacco excise taxes to fund community-level
interventions including mass media, providing proven quitting strategies
through health care organizations, and adopting smoke-free laws and
policies.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_19">19</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_20">20</a>]</p><div id="CDR0000062879__331"><h4>The Lung Health Study</h4><p id="CDR0000062879__332">In a randomized trial of heavy smokers, the long-term follow-up results demonstrated that compared with the nonintervention group (n = 1,964), those randomly assigned to a smoking cessation intervention (n = 3,923) experienced a 15% reduction in all-cause mortality rates (8.83 vs. 10.38 per 1,000 person-years; <i>P</i> = .03).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_21">21</a>] The smoking cessation intervention consisted of a strong physician message plus 12 group sessions and nicotine gum administered during a 10-week period. Decreases in the risk of lung and other cancers, and coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease contributed to the benefit in the group randomly assigned to the smoking cessation intervention.</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879__333"><h4>School-based interventions</h4><p id="CDR0000062879__334">School-based interventions alone have not demonstrated
long-term impact for smoking prevention.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_22">22</a>] One of the highest-quality studies was a large, randomized trial
in which children received a theory-based
program that incorporated various social-influence approaches from grade 3 through grade 12, with no
difference in smoking outcomes observed either at grade 12 or at 2 years after high school between school
districts receiving the intervention and those in the control arm.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_23">23</a>]</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879__335"><h4>Minimum legal age of access to tobacco products</h4><p id="CDR0000062879__336">Raising the minimum legal age of access (MLA) to tobacco products is a tobacco control policy option that has gained momentum. Currently, the MLA set by the federal government is 18 years of age, but states and municipalities can raise the MLA to older ages. In 2015, Hawaii became the first state to raise the MLA to 21 years, and many municipalities, including Boston and New York City, have enacted MLA 21-years legislation. An Institute of Medicine report thoroughly evaluated public health implications of raising the MLA.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_24">24</a>] In the absence of direct evidence on this topic, the report was based on a series of assumptions about the impact of raising the MLA on reducing and delaying initiation of smoking. These assumptions were entered into statistical models that forecast the impact of increasing the MLA on smoking prevalence and smoking-caused premature deaths during the 21st century. Even the results of the more conservative Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network estimated that an increase of the MLA to 21 years in 2015 would avert 249,000 smoking-caused premature deaths in a hypothetical U.S. birth cohort by 2100.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__337">Despite the strong hypothetical evidence of benefit implied by the Institute of Medicine report, the dearth of direct evidence on raising the MLA makes it challenging to discern the actual impact of raising the MLA in real-world settings. Needham, Massachusetts became the first U.S. municipality to raise the MLA to 21 years in April of 2005. To evaluate the impact of raising the MLA, researchers used a post-intervention only time series approach to compare area-level smoking prevalence among high school students in Needham with 16 surrounding municipalities that had a constant MLA of 18 years.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_25">25</a>] The source of smoking prevalence data was a biennial survey administered to students in grades 9 through 12; data from 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012 were presented. During this 6-year period, the decrease in prevalence of current smoking in Needham (7.4%) was only slightly larger than the 16 surrounding municipalities (6.3%). Numerous limitations weaken the evidence provided by this study, including the assessment of evidence only more than a year after the MLA 21 years was enacted; this is especially important in the Needham example because the MLA had been gradually increased to MLA 19 years in 2003 and MLA 20 years in 2004 and ignoring these previous MLA increases would bias the findings toward the null. The lack of high-quality direct evidence evaluating the public health impact of raising the MLA accentuates the future need for stronger direct evidence on this topic.</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879__338"><h4>Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) </h4><p id="CDR0000062879__339">The Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) was a National Cancer Institute-funded large-scale study to assess a combination of community-based
interventions designed to help smokers cease using tobacco. COMMIT involved 11
matched pairs of communities in North America, which were randomly assigned to
an arm offering an active community-wide intervention or a control arm (no
active intervention).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_26">26</a>] The 4-year intervention included messaging through
existing media channels, major community organizations, and social institutions
capable of influencing smoking behavior in large groups of people. The
interventions were implemented in each community through a local community
board that provided oversight and management of COMMIT activities.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__340">In COMMIT, there was no difference in the mean quit rate
of heavy-smokers in the intervention communities (18.0%) compared with the
control communities (18.7%). The light-to-moderate smoker quit rates were
statistically significantly different: averages of 30.6% and 27.5% for the
intervention and control communities, respectively (<i>P</i> = .004). Although no
significant differences in quit rates between the sexes were observed,
less-educated light-to-moderate smokers were more responsive to the
intervention than were college-educated smokers with a light-to-moderate
habit.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_27">27</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_28">28</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__341"> Clinical interventions targeted at individuals have shown more promising results. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials shows that 6-month cessation rates are significantly improved with use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products compared with placebo or no intervention (summary relative risk [RR], 1.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50&#x02013;1.66).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_29">29</a>] The benefits of NRT product use have been consistently observed regardless of whether the product used was the patch, gum, nasal spray, inhaler, or lozenge.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_29">29</a>] Smoking cessation counseling alone is also effective;[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_30">30</a>] even a brief
intervention by a health care professional significantly increases the smoking
cessation rate.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_31">31</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__342">An important issue is whether pharmacotherapies are more effective in the presence of counseling. A randomized trial compared the following three levels of intervention that combined free pharmacotherapy (nicotine patch or bupropion) with or without counseling: 1) pharmacotherapy alone; 2) pharmacotherapy plus up to two counseling sessions every 6 months; and 3) pharmacotherapy plus up to six counseling sessions every 6 months. During the 24-month study, each group was offered a randomly assigned intervention at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months later. For the primary study endpoint of 7-day point prevalence of smoking abstinence after 24 months of follow-up, no statistically significant differences were observed among the interventions.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_32">32</a>] The results of this study suggest that the combination of pharmacotherapy plus counseling is no better than intervention alone.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__343">Promoting smoking cessation among cancer survivors is essential because the deleterious health effects of cigarette smoking may impact prognosis in both the short term and long term. In a randomized controlled trial of a peer-delivered smoking cessation intervention among childhood cancer survivors, a significantly higher 12-month quit rate was observed in the intervention group (15% vs. 9%; <i>P</i> &#x0003c; .01).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_33">33</a>]</p></div></div><div id="CDR0000062879__137"><h3>Tobacco Cessation Guidelines</h3><p id="CDR0000062879__26">In 1996, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now the Agency

asking about smoking status at every visit, advising abstinence, assisting by
setting a quit date, providing self-help materials and recommending use of
NRT, and arranging for a follow-up visit. See below

smoking in the general population.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_36">36</a>] Since the original AHCPR guidelines [<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_37">37</a>]
were published in 1996, various nicotine replacement products have been
approved for over-the-counter sale, and additional evidence of the
effectiveness of therapies for smoking cessation has been published.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_38">38</a>-<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_41">41</a>]
Pharmacotherapy of smoking cessation, including NRTs (gum,
patch, spray, lozenge, and inhaler) and nonnicotine medications (e.g., bupropion and varenicline), results
in statistically significant increases in smoking cessation rates over those of a placebo. Based on a synthesis of the results of 110 randomized trials, the researchers found that NRT treatments, alone or in combination, improved cessation rates over placebos after 6 months (RR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.50&#x02013;1.66).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_29">29</a>] The results of a meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials that tested combination NRT versus single NRT interventions suggested that combining another type of NRT, such as nicotine lozenges, with the nicotine patch was more efficacious than the nicotine patch alone (odds ratio [OR], 1.43; 95% CI, 1.08&#x02013;1.91).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_42">42</a>] However, this result was not confirmed in a subsequent randomized trial that compared an intervention of nicotine patch plus nicotine lozenge to nicotine patch alone.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_43">43</a>] There was little difference in 7-day point-prevalence abstinence after 26 weeks of follow-up (27% vs. 23%; <i>P</i> = .25) and no added benefit after 52 weeks of follow-up (20% vs. 21%; <i>P</i> = .86) between participants in the combination NRT intervention and those in the nicotine patch&#x02013;alone intervention.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__253">There are also nonnicotine pharmacotherapies that have been efficacious for smoking cessation, including bupropion and varenicline. Based on the results of 31 randomized trials that compared the antidepressant bupropion to placebo, after 6 months of follow-up, bupropion was associated with a statistically significant increase in the likelihood of quitting smoking (summary OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.72&#x02013;2.19).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_44">44</a>] There is insufficient evidence to support the idea that combining bupropion plus NRT increases smoking cessation rates over those of NRT alone (summary OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 0.65&#x02013;2.91).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_44">44</a>] </p><p id="CDR0000062879__254">Varenicline is a selective alpha-4-beta-2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist. In two randomized controlled trials for smoking cessation, varenicline titrated to a dose of 1.0 mg twice a day and was compared with bupropion sustained-release (SR) 150 mg twice a day and with a placebo group.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_45">45</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_46">46</a>] Treatment lasted for 12 weeks, with an additional 40 weeks of posttreatment follow-up. In both studies, varenicline was more efficacious than bupropion and placebo for continuous abstinence from smoking at 9 to 12 weeks and at 9 to 24 weeks of follow-up. For 9 to 52 weeks of follow-up, varenicline was more efficacious than placebo in both studies.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_45">45</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_46">46</a>] At 52 weeks of follow-up, the 7-day point prevalence of smoking abstinence was 46% higher in the varenicline group than in the bupropion SR group (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.04&#x02013;2.06).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_45">45</a>] The other study also showed a 46% higher continuous abstinence in the varenicline group (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.99&#x02013;2.17).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_46">46</a>] Approximately 30% of the participants who were randomly assigned to receive varenicline reported nausea, more than double that in the bupropion groups, and triple that seen in the placebo groups. In a randomized trial comparing varenicline with transdermal nicotine, continuous abstinence was greater in the varenicline group than in the transdermal nicotine group at the end of treatment (56% vs. 43%; <i>P</i> &#x0003c; .001) and during posttreatment follow-up (26% vs. 20%; <i>P</i> = .06).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_47">47</a>] The prevalence of nausea in the varenicline group (37%) was more than triple that in the transdermal nicotine group (10%). However, this result was not confirmed in a subsequent randomized trial that compared varenicline with the nicotine patch.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_43">43</a>] There was little difference in 7-day point-prevalence abstinence after 26 weeks (24% vs. 23%; <i>P</i> = .82) or 52 weeks (19% vs. 21%; <i>P</i> = .61) between those randomly assigned to the varenicline intervention and those assigned to the nicotine patch intervention.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__255">Based on postmarketing surveillance, on July 1, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required additions to the Boxed Warnings for both bupropion and varenicline to describe the risk of serious neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with these products. Symptoms include: &#x0201c;changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts and behavior, and attempted suicide.&#x0201d;[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_48">48</a>] The FDA goes on to advise that the important health benefits of quitting smoking &#x0201c;should be weighed against the small, but real, risk of serious adverse events with the use of varenicline or bupropion.&#x0201d;[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_48">48</a>] A meta-analysis of double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trials of varenicline administered for at least 1 week (N = 14 trials) indicated that varenicline was associated with an increased risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events (RR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.09&#x02013;2.71).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_49">49</a>] This finding is particularly noteworthy because almost all of the randomized trials included in the meta-analysis had the following in common: they excluded patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline; the usual average age of the patient populations (early 40s) was young for CVD; varenicline was usually administered for only 12 weeks or less; and, varenicline is efficacious for smoking cessation, which would act to decrease CVD risk.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__73">There is a growing number of smoking cessation pharmacotherapies that have been shown to be efficacious in significantly increasing rates of smoking cessation. The choice of therapy should be individualized based on a number
of factors, including past experience, patient and/or physician preference, and
potential agent side effects.
As more is learned about specific genetic variants that influence a smoker's response to smoking cessation pharmacotherapies&#x02014;such as polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes involved in nicotine metabolism&#x02014;this information could eventually be integrated into smoking cessation treatment planning.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_50">50</a>] Presently, the evidence is not yet sufficient to be integrated into clinical practice.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__74">The following sections summarize available pharmacologic interventions to assist
in tobacco cessation. More comprehensive information is available from product package inserts.

Nortriptyline is an antidepressant that does not contain nicotine. A meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials found that smokers who received nortriptyline were 2.4 times more likely (95% CI, 1.7&#x02013;3.6) than smokers who received a placebo to remain abstinent from smoking after 6 months.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_58">58</a>]</p></div></div></div></div><div id="CDR0000062879__211"><h3>Smoking Reduction</h3><p id="CDR0000062879__212">Among dependent smokers, complete abstinence from smoking is the ultimate goal. Even in instances when complete abstinence from smoking is not achieved, smoking cessation pharmacotherapies may benefit individual health&#x02014;and ultimately the public&#x02019;s health&#x02014;if the smoker reduces the number of cigarettes smoked. The relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, and other smoking-associated malignancies, is strongly dose-dependent. Thus, an individual smoker who is unable to achieve abstinence or who is not motivated to quit smoking may benefit by using pharmacotherapies (or other means) to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day. NRT has thus generated attention as a viable means of &#x0201c;harm reduction.&#x0201d; In studies that randomly assigned smokers who were not trying to quit to NRT or placebo, a greater proportion of those randomly assigned to NRT compared with placebo reduced the number of cigarettes per day.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_59">59</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_60">60</a>] However, the impact of NRT on smoking reduction appears not to be sustained in the long run.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_61">61</a>] Less evidence is available for bupropion, varenicline, and psychosocial interventions as a means of harm reduction. A potential problem with such a harm reduction strategy would be if it prevented cessation among smokers who would have otherwise quit smoking. Evidence shows that smoking reduction is actually associated with increased likelihood of future cessation.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_60">60</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_62">62</a>] Another potential negative aspect of harm reduction would be if smokers reduced the number of cigarettes smoked per day but modified the way the cigarettes were smoked in such a way that exposure to tobacco toxins was not actually reduced (e.g., by inhaling more deeply). Compensatory behaviors such as inhaling more deeply or smoking more of a cigarette are attempts by the smoker to try to maintain nicotine levels, so the use of supplemental NRT presumably safeguards against this. Evidence from studies of smoking reduction with NRT that measured smoking biomarkers indicates that compensation occurs, but not to such an extent that it would be expected to outweigh the reduction in exposure from the reduced number of cigarettes per day.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_59">59</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__299">Among smokers who are interested in quitting but not ready to make an immediate quit attempt, gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes smoked per day leading up to a quit attempt may prove to be a viable intervention strategy. This &#x0201c;reduce to quit&#x0201d; approach was tested in the context of a randomized controlled trial. In this study, both the intervention group and control group received counseling with the goals of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked per day by 75% or greater by week 8 and to quit smoking entirely by week 12.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_63">63</a>] The intervention group (n = 760) also received smoking cessation pharmacotherapy (varenicline at a maintenance dose of 1 mg twice per day for 24 weeks), whereas the control group (n = 750) received placebo tablets. For the primary endpoint of self-reported smoking abstinence during weeks 15 through 24, a statistically significant risk difference of 25.2% (varenicline group, 32.1% vs. placebo group, 6.9%; 95% CI, 21.4%&#x02013;29.0%) was observed. The clinical significance of this finding is that it provides evidence of benefit for a pharmacotherapy-enhanced intervention aimed to motivate smokers who are interested in quitting, but not yet ready to quit, to start by cutting down on the number of cigarettes per day as a lead-in to a subsequent quit attempt.</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879__310"><h3>Financial Incentive Programs for Smoking Cessation</h3><p id="CDR0000062879__311">Financial incentive programs can offer additional support for smoking cessation efforts. Results from a recent randomized trial suggest that the efficacy of such programs may be influenced greatly by the way rewards are disbursed.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_64">64</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_65">65</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__312">The trial randomly assigned 2,538 participants to either one of four incentive programs or usual care. The four programs were combinations of scope (two programs targeted individuals, and two targeted groups of six participants) and incentive structure (one of the individual-focused programs and one of the group-focused programs provided rewards of approximately $800 to participants who achieved cessation at 6 months; the others required an initial refundable deposit of $150, supplemented with $650 in reward payments for successful cessation). The rationale for the four intervention arms was based on behavioral observations that 1) people are more loss averse than gain seeking and 2) collaboration/competition with others can bolster intervention efficacy.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_64">64</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__316">Two main dimensions of the intervention effects were explored:</p><ol id="CDR0000062879__317"><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Acceptance of the intervention.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Efficacy of the intervention. </div></li></ol><p id="CDR0000062879__313">Both intent-to-treat and per-protocol analyses were performed, with an in-depth sensitivity analysis for potential biases accompanying the latter. In the intent-to-treat analyses (which evaluated the overall efficacy of the interventions), all of the financial incentive arms demonstrated significantly higher 6-month abstinence rates than did usual care (9.4%&#x02013;16%, compared with 6% for usual care). The 6 month abstinence rates were similar between the group-focused and individual-focused arms (13.7% and 12.1%, respectively; <i>P</i> = .29), but the reward-based programs were associated with higher abstinence rates than were the deposit-based ones (15.7% vs. 10.2%; <i>P</i> &#x0003c; .001).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_64">64</a>]</p><p id="CDR0000062879__314">However, per-protocol analyses that accounted for the dramatically lower acceptance rate for the deposit-based interventions than for the reward-based interventions (14% vs. 90%) estimated that 6-month abstinence rates could be 13.2 percentage points (95% CI, 3.1&#x02013;22.8) higher in the deposit-based programs than in the reward-based programs among the estimated 13.7% of participants who would participate in either type of program. That is, deposit-based interventions may be more efficacious than reward-based interventions but harder to get people to commit to.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_64">64</a>]</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879__290"><h3>A Changing Marketplace for Tobacco Products and Nicotine-Delivery Devices</h3><p id="CDR0000062879__291">The expansion in the marketplace of tobacco products and devices that deliver nicotine poses new challenges to tobacco control.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_66">66</a>-<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_70">70</a>] Examples of nontraditional tobacco products in the U.S. market include small cigars, water pipe tobacco smoking (&#x0201c;hookah&#x0201d;), and new types of flavored, smokeless tobacco products modeled after Swedish snus. Prominent among non&#x02013;tobacco-containing nicotine delivery devices are electronic cigarettes (or &#x0201c;e-cigarettes&#x0201d;) that have experienced a rapid upsurge in use and are now marketed by the major U.S. tobacco companies.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_66">66</a>,<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_67">67</a>] Monitoring this expansion in products, how the products are used (e.g., product switching, multiple use, and use for tobacco cigarette smoking cessation), and the harms and benefits associated with their use compared with the use of tobacco cigarettes is critical to the development of more effective tobacco control strategies.</p><p id="CDR0000062879__292">Research to determine the potential risks and benefits of these new products is just beginning to emerge. In a three-arm trial in New Zealand, 657 adult tobacco cigarette smokers who wanted to quit smoking were all referred to a smoking cessation quit line and randomly assigned to receive nicotine e-cigarettes, nicotine patches, or placebo e-cigarettes.[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_71">71</a>] After 3 months of intervention and 3 additional months of follow-up, the primary outcome of 6-month continuous abstinence was 7.3%, 5.8%, and 4.1%, respectively. These quit rates were low in all three arms of the study, and the differences were not statistically significant but provide preliminary evidence that e-cigarettes resulted in rates of smoking cessation comparable to those of the nicotine patch, a smoking cessation pharmacotherapy of established efficacy. The trial results also suggested that nicotine e-cigarettes could expand the reach of smoking cessation interventions. Compared with the group assigned to the nicotine patch, the group assigned to e-cigarettes had higher adherence to treatment (78% vs. 46%; <i>P</i> &#x0003c; .0001) and were more likely to report that they would recommend their assigned product to a friend wanting to quit (88% vs. 56%; no <i>P</i>-value reported).[<a class="bk_pop" href="#CDR0000062879_rl_19_71">71</a>]</p></div><div id="CDR0000062879_rl_19"><h3>References</h3><ol><li><div class="bk_ref" id="CDR0000062879_rl_19_1">American Cancer Society: Cancer Facts and Figures 2016.
