Summary
Women typically have a more difficult time quitting smoking than men. Little research has
been done to understand the differences between men and women that may cause this
distinction. This study will assess whether the reduced effectiveness of nicotine replacement
therapy in women is caused by gender differences in the withdrawal suppression induced by
nicotine replacement therapy.
