Gradual reduction vs abrupt cessation as a smoking cessation strategy in smokers who want to quit
Abstract
Clinical question: Is gradual smoking cessation associated with poorer success rates than abrupt cessation in smokers who want to quit?
Bottom line: Gradual reduction may not be associated with a clinically significant difference in smoking cessation rates compared with abrupt cessation.
