Research program on tobacco smoking
In the past years, our group has developed a research program on tobacco smoking. In a collaboration with the Department of Physiology, we conduct a study of associations between smoking and genes
coding for nicotinic receptors. We will begin a randomized trial aiming at testing if a nicotine pretreatment (chewing-gums of 4 mg nicotine) taken during one month before quitting smoking is more
effective than the same treatment taken since the quit date. We recently conducted a comparative study on smoking among schizophrenic patients and in a sample of the general population. We conducted
several studies on the validity of measurements of tobacco dependence and tobacco withdrawal symptoms. We also studied non-dependent smokers, of which some smoked tens of thousands of cigarettes during
their life, without developing dependence, which contradicts the widespread idea that any person using a addictive substance regularly will develop dependence. We showed in another study that smoking is
associated with heritable temperament traits. We also showed that very dependent smokers could reduce their consumption of cigarettes if they took nicotine replacement products simultaneously (nicotine
patches, chewing-gums and inhalers). We also demonstrated the effectiveness of an interactive program which uses computers to give individualized counselling to smokers.
