研究了一组习惯性吸烟者在15天内暂时戒烟的效果，在此期间，他们在前5天正常吸烟，在接下来的5天戒烟，并在最后5天再次吸烟。结果与一组不戒烟的人所获得的值进行了评估。当受试者停止吸烟时，肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素的排泄量减少，皮肤温度升高，手的稳定性得到改善。每期进行一次次最大体能测试。尽管心率降低，戒酒者在工作期间感觉到的劳累程度并没有发生变化。戒烟者和吸烟者在认知测试中的表现只有很小的差别。易怒、抑郁、注意力不集中、睡眠障碍、焦虑、紧张和不安经常被报告为禁欲症状。结果表明，在禁欲期间，觉醒水平有所下降。
&NA; Effects of abstaining temporarily from tobacco smoking were studied in a group of habitual smokers during a 15‐day period, during which they smoked normally for the forst 5 days, refrained from smoking the next 5 days, and smoked again during the last 5 days. Results were evaluated against values obtained in a nonabstaining group of smokers. Adrenaline and noradrenaline excretion decreased, skin temperature increased, and hand steadiness was improved when the subjects stopped smoking. Submaximal, physical work tests were performed once each period. No changes occurred in perceived exertion for abstainers during work, in spite of a reduced heart rate. There were only minor differences between abstaining and smoking subjects with regard to performance in the cognitive tests. Irritation, depression, lack of concentration, sleep disturbances, anxiety, tension, and restlessness were frequently reported as abstinence symptoms. The results indicate a decrease in arousal level during abstinence.
