WANT TO QUIT SMOKING? TAKE YOUR TIME
There are lots of ways to stop smoking but, as many smokers know to well, few that really stick. The key, according to a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry, is time. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, measured the success rates of would-be quitters who received councseling plus the antidepressant nortriptyline or a placebo for either three months a year. Compared with 18% of patients who were able to quit after short term drug and behavioural theraphy, 50% of those in the long term group were abstinent at the end of the year. Researchers even found that 42% of the placebo were abkle to quit if they got yearlong counseling. (By Sara Song) |
