“…In tobacco-dependent smokers, smoking denicotinized cigarettes has been found to result in a degree of withdrawal relief that is similar to smoking regular cigarettes (Pickworth et al, 1999;Buchhalter et al, 2001;Dallery et al, 2003;Donny et al, 2007); however, denicotinized cigarettes provide less satisfaction (Butschky et al, 1995;Gross et al, 1997), reward (Naqvi and Bechara, 2005;Donny et al, 2007), and anxiety reduction (Pomerleau et al, 1984;Buckley et al, 2007) than regular cigarettes. Denicotinized cigarettes also do not elevate heart rate like regular cigarettes (Butschky et al, 1995;Pickworth et al, 1999;Schuh et al, 2001;Buchhalter et al, 2001), but both cigarette types increase skin conductance responses (Naqvi and Bechara, 2006).…”
