Scheduled reduced smoking: effects on smoking abstinence and potential mechanisms of action

Addictive Behaviors
P M CinciripiniJ B McClure

Abstract

Although most smokers in our society report that they would like to quit, smoking prevalence rates have remained relatively unchanged during most of the 1990s. This is in contrast to a nearly 50% reduction in prevalence observed over the past 3 decades. Presently, an estimated 25.5% of adults (48 million people) continue to smoke, although most smokers would like to quit. Recent research on the treatment of nicotine dependence has focused primarily on events that occur after the initial cessation period (i.e., the prevention of relapse with behavioral counseling and/or the management of withdrawal symptoms with nicotine replacement therapy). Although these methods are effective, there is evidence that cessation rates may also be enhanced by manipulating smoking behavior prior to quitting. One promising approach is scheduled reduced smoking. Early work with this approach has yielded superior abstinence rates compared to gradual reduction and abrupt "cold turkey" quitting techniques. In this article, we present an overview of research on scheduled reduced smoking and discuss the effects of the treatment on smoking urges, negative affect, and self-efficacy.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
