Background: Smoking cessation has important immediate health benefits. The comparative short-term effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions is not well known.

We selected randomized clinical trials [RCTs] evaluating interventions for our primary outcome of abstinence from smoking at at-least 4 weeks post-target quit date, with biochemical confirmation.

CONCLUSION: This retrospective study confirmed the tolerability issues for varenicline, identified during the phase II-phase III development program and confirmed afterwards. It raises the following questions: Should varenicline be prescribed as a second-line therapy? Is there a patient type for which varenicline would be more - or less - appropriate? Can the tolerability profile be improved by reducing dosage while maintaining the level of efficacy or by co-administering symptomatic treatment more systematically? These are questions that new studies evaluating varenicline tolerability should answer. PMID: 19740621 [Pu...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers smoking to be the biggest avoidable health risk. The consumption of tobacco leads to health hazards and resulting diseases, the consequences of which are far more serious than those emanating from other addictive substances. Approximately 27% of the German adult population smoke regularly and the proportion of smokers addicted to tobacco or nicotine is estimated to be around 60%. Many of these smokers have undertaken numerous unsuccessful attempts at abstinence. A professional support for smokers who are motivated to give up smoking enhances the chances of success.
