Abstract
The relation between cigarette smoking and serious cardiopulmonary disease has been convincingly established1 , 2 and has impelled a search for effective methods of helping smokers to break the habit. Nevertheless, there are few effective methods.3 , 4 One method, based on principles of behavior modification by stimulus satiation used by a number of investigators, appears to be superior to others.5 6 7 8 Their studies have reported an overall success rate of 57 to 60 per cent at six months. Lichtenstein and Glasgow have estimated that 35,000 persons have been exposed to this method.9 This stimulus-satiation method consists of an enforced period of continuous and rapid . . .This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
