SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Past 24 hours

Total Score from the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Questionnaire (MNWQ), assessed at weekly visits. The MNWQ is a commonly-used 12-item Likert scale self-report measure of nicotine symptoms. Individual symptoms were rated from 0 (none) to 4 (severe) for each item and the Total score range was 0 - 48. Ratings were collected once weekly during study visits.
