Very Low Nicotine Content Cigarettes for Smoking Cessation: Examining a Facilitated Extinction Approach and Dosing Schedule

Drug and Alcohol Dependence

Very low nicotine cigarettes (VLNC, 0.4 mg nicotine/g tobacco) have been shown to reduce smoking behavior when compared to normal nicotine cigarettes (NNC,17 mg nicotine/g tobacco). Participants (n=208) were randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups, immediate versus gradual (over 5 weeks) transition to VLNC, and standard counseling versus facilitated extinction counseling (weekly for 5 weeks). Facilitated extinction had participants smoke only in relevant contexts (e.g., places, affects, triggers). The immediate nicotine reduction group reported less smoking satisfaction and lower completion rates (72% immediate reduction versus 88% gradual reduction, p=.02). Abstinence (biochemically verified) at 2 months post study was 29%. There were no significant differences between the 4 study groups. VLNC were beneficial in smoking cessation.
