Despite the small numbers who reported information on therapies used in previous quit attempts, form this data shows that CBT resulted in longer periods of smoking cessation.
It would be interesting to extend the study to a random sample of general population in order to test if these results are similar and assess the long-term effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioural therapy.
Change Despite the few smokers that provide information, the cognitive-behavioural therapy exceeds the pharmacological therapy in the cessation time upkeep.
