(SCIENCE ALERT) – A large review compared the effectiveness of methods to quit smoking, with three emerging as clear winners for helping people kick the habit.
The medications varenicline and cytisine, as well as nicotine e-cigarettes proved to be the most successful among the interventions reviewed by a UK team.
A total of 157,179 smokers were included in the analysis of 319 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), that tracked success in quitting for at least six months.
