Allen Carr’s Easyway (ACE) method of quitting smoking, which does not include pharmacotherapy, appeared to generate broadly similar success rates to a specialist stop smoking service that includes pharmacotherapy https://t.co/xB7Zq3voME

New study: Smoking cessation with councelling advice but without #BigPharma's 'cessation products' worked just a little better than councelling advice with the pharma products. Finally Big Pharma can claim 'Nothing works better than Nicorette!'
