Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of rimonabant 20 mg OD fixed dose plus nicotine patch 21 mg OD with the combination rimonabant 20 mg OD fixed dose plus placebo patch on abstinence from smoking in cigarette smokers motivated to quit.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical and biological safety of rimonabant associated with nicotine replacement therapy during a 9-week treatment period and to evaluate the effect of the combination on weight and craving.
