“…This questionnaire (Appendix 1) evaluates the motivation of a smoker willing to make a quit attempt and consists of 15 items. It classifies motivation to quit according to four possibilities of success: 1) it is not the time to quit (,6), 2) discrete (6-12), 3) good (12)(13)(14)(15)(16), and 4) very good (.16). The GN-SBQ (Appendix 2) consists of 11 items and classifies behavioural dependence according to quartiles: mild (,12), moderate (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), strong (23-33) and very strong (.33).…”

“…Scoring of the subjective ratings of depression was assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory [14]. Physical dependence and behavioural dependence were measured by the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) [15] and Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioural Questionnaire (GN-SBQ) [16], respectively. Level of motivation was assessed by the Mondor Motivational Questionnaire, a tool developed in 1994 at the Hopital Henri-Mondor (Paris, France).…”

Smoking-cessation drugs are inadequate at addressing the behavioural component of tobacco dependence. Nicotine-free inhalators are plastic devices that may provide a coping mechanism for conditioned smoking by replacing some of the rituals associated with smoking gestures. This study assessed the effect of using a nicotine-free inhalator to improve success in a cessation programme.At baseline, 120 smokers attending a smoking-cessation programme were assessed for their sociodemographic factors, smoking history, depression, physical and behavioural dependence, and motivation. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, nicotine-free inhalator group (PAIPO; Echos Srl, Milan, Italy) versus reference group.For the whole sample, no significant difference was found in quit rates at 24 weeks between the PAIPO group and the reference group. However, the quit rate in the PAIPO group (66.7%) was more than three-fold higher than the reference group (19.2%) for those individuals with high Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioural Questionnaire (GN-SBQ) scores at baseline. The results of the logistic model analysis indicate that a high GN-SBQ score is a strong independent predictor for successful quitting at 24 weeks (OR 8.88; 95% CI 2.08-37.94) in the PAIPO group.Nicotine-free inhalators may be beneficial when used in the context of smoking-cessation interventions, particularly for those smokers for whom handling and manipulation of their cigarettes plays an important part in the ritual of smoking.

“…The inhalator had no effect on abstinence rates at 4 or 24 weeks overall. However, there was a significant effect of the inhalator in smokers who reported high levels of 'behavioural dependence' at baseline, measured by the Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behaviour Questionnaire [20]. This post-hoc finding requires a replication.…”

The Effect of Sensorimotor Replacement on Smoking Cessation and Craving

Current treatments for smoking cessation such as nicotine replacement therapy or varenicline address the primary reinforcer of smoking (nicotine), but sensorimotor stimuli (e.g. smell/taste of smoke, inhaling/exhaling, airway sensations, holding the cigarette) may act as secondary reinforcers and also contribute to smoking reward. Addressing both these aspects of smoking may help to enhance smoking cessation treatment. The aim of this review was to examine whether sensorimotor replacement can help to alleviate craving and aid smoking cessation. Three sensorimotor replacement products were examined: non-nicotine inhalators/aerosols, de-nicotinised cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. The current research suggests that sensorimotor replacement may enhance the efficacy of nicotine replacement therapy, but is unlikely to be useful if used alone. Electronic cigarettes may be the most promising approach, due to the combination of nicotine delivery and sensorimotor input.

“…There may be several explanations for this. Using a different cut-off point on the GN-SBQ scale might have affected results, but we have followed the recommendations of the GN-SBQ developers and used the canonical cut-off point of 22 for the analyses [2]. Alternatively, our findings reflect the fact that aspects of tobacco dependence that are behavioural in nature are very little studied and that characterisation of behavioural sub-phenotypes in smokers may be a far stronger and more relevant determinant of smoking cessation outcomes [4].…”

The authors in their methodology described to be using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), and it would be of interest also to know whether estimates with FTND as dependency parameter gave a similar result. Also, it would be of interest to know the actual duration of nicotine-free inhalator use in each of the two groups (median and range), and whether the concordance with the smoking cessation intervention (buproprion and high-dose nicotine patch) differed in the two groups, if these data are available.
