What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Abstained From Smoking at Week 12

    The use of nicotine was recorded using Nicotine Use Inventory (NUI) to determine the participants who abstained from smoking for the previous 7 days. A responder for the 7-day point prevalence was defined as those with 'no' answers to the following two questions: Did the participant smoke any cigarettes (even a puff) in the last 7 days; and did participant use any other tobacco products (example pipe, cigars, snuff, chewing tobacco) in the last 7 days.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Level of Nicotine Dependence Measured by the Fagerstrom Test

    Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) was designed to provide measure of nicotine dependence related to cigarette smoking. It contains 4 yes-no and 2 multiple choice questions. Items are scored 0-3 for multiple choice items, items are summed to yield total score of 0-10 (0=minimum to 10=maximum nicotine dependence).
