Comparison of Abstinence Rates of Smoking Cessation Medications among Obese Smokers

Abstract

Although both varenicline and bupropion have been reported to be effective in terms of increasing the abstinence rate, while previous literature among adults reports better abstinence with varenicline compared to bupropion, our findings among obese smokers indicate no difference in abstinence for those using bupropion compared to those using varenicline.
