Nicotine Patches, Gums Won't Help Smokers Quit Long-Term: Study
Date:1/9/2012

ice of cigarettes, public messaging, and strong legislation restricting indoor smoking work, and work very well, as a matter of policy," Glantz noted. "But this study suggests that NRT doesn't actually buy you anything when used over the counter. So using public funds to support NRT use in that way may not be such a great idea.

"But at the same time," he added, "this is just one study, and it's not terribly huge. And this study isn't saying that these pharmacologic aids don't work at all. It just says that NRT doesn't work in the unsupervised, over-the-counter context. So we don't necessarily want to throw out the baby with the bathwater."
