Abstract
Uncontrolled studies have indicated that the smoker's "life' can be simulated clinically by short-term, high-dosage corticotrophin therapy. Following such treatment, smokers previously prevented by the withdrawal syndrome from giving up smoking were able to do so easily. All 10 patients reported here were still not smoking after seven months.
