| description | Advice from doctors, structured interventions from nurses, and individual and group counselling are effective interventions. Generic self help materials are no better than brief advice but more effective than doing nothing; personalised materials are more effective than standard materials. All forms of nicotine replacement therapy are effective. The antidepressants bupropion and nortriptyline increased quit rates in a small number of trials; the usefulness of the antihypertensive drug clonidine is limited by side effects. Anxiolytics and lobeline are ineffective. The effectiveness of aversion therapy, mecamylamine, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and exercise is uncertain. |
