Propranolol and giving up smoking

Abstract

A placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial was conducted to determine whether propranolol helps cigarette smokers to stop smoking; 73 subjects entered the trial but at the end of eight weeks only six had stopped smoking, three in the propranolol and three in the placebo group. There was no evidence of any helpful effect of propranolol in subjects trying to stop smoking.
