Overview

Randomized trial showed that combination therapy significantly reduces carbon monoxide levels in cab drivers, suggesting effective integrated strategies.

Key Points

  • Combination therapy led to the greatest reduction in carbon monoxide levels at 4.2 ppm.
  • NRT alone resulted in a 7.1 ppm decrease, with motivational interviewing reducing levels by 9.8 ppm.
  • This randomized clinical trial involved 150 male cab drivers using various intervention strategies.
  • The findings underscore the importance of integrated smoking cessation approaches for high-risk groups.
