A placebo-controlled study of smokers with MDD evaluated varenicline with vs without behavioral interventions for smoking cessation.
Daily or weekly smokers were recruited via advertisements and randomly assigned to receive either a personalized or nonpersonalized text message intervention.

In this study, researchers investigated how smoking cessation medicines compare with respect to their, clinical effectiveness, safety, and cost effectiveness.

There have not been very many studies which examined the association between secondhand smoke and ADHD symptoms in children. Thus, the researchers sought to evaluate whether or not there is a relationship between the two.
The study authors sought to determine if a brief, multicomponent, sustained care smoking cessation intervention tailored to individuals with severe mental illness can facilitate treatment engagement and abstinence following hospital discharge.
The researchers combined virtual reality with Approach Bias Modification to determine if this would improve smokers’ motivation to quit smoking and reduce the number of dropouts from smoking cessation programs.
