Duke research: “Quit score” could help some smokers kick the habit

posted July 26th, 2010

Statistics show 70 percent of the nation’s nearly fifty million smokers want to quit. But only a fraction of those actually succeed, no matter what method they try.

Now, Duke University Medical Center researchers and experts at the National Institute on Drug Abuse say the genetic profile of an individual smoker can yield a “quit score” that, combined with that smoker’s habits, can be used to identify which smoking cessation therapy could work best.
