在纽约市，一个戒烟诊所的设计是为了适应当地电视新闻节目的格式。1975年8月，一个由20个30到90秒的片段组成的逐步戒烟计划在每个工作日的晚上播出，持续了4周。近4,800名吸烟者通过明信片“登记”诊所，并在诊所结束时和一个月后对310名吸烟者进行了随访。大多数答复者是妇女。男性的平均年龄为47岁，女性为49岁。他们已经吸烟30多年了，当他们在诊所登记时，他们平均每天吸烟30多支。近一半的人从未戒烟长达24小时。一般来说，受访者与通常参加吸烟诊所的铁杆吸烟者相似。近10%的人报告说，他们在广播结束时已经戒烟。男子的戒烟率是妇女的两倍。区分那些退出的人和那些没有退出的人的一个主要因素是他们看过的节目的数量。妇女戒烟率较低的主要原因是抽样中50岁以上的妇女吸烟。这项研究表明，利用大众媒体可能是接触大量吸烟者的有效途径，这些人不愿去有组织的诊所，但他们可能能够在最低限度的支持和指导下自行戒烟。
A stop-smoking clinic was designed to fit into the format of a local television news program in New York City. A step-by-step quitting plan consisting of twenty 30- to 90-second segments was broadcast each weekday evening for 4 weeks in August 1975. Almost 4,800 smokers "registered" for the clinic by postcard, and a sample of 310 was followed up at the end of the clinic and 1 month later. The majority of the respondents were women. The average age was 47 for men and 49 for women. They had been smoking for more than 30 years, and when they registered for the clinic, they were averaging more than 30 cigarettes a day. Almost half had never been off cigarettes for as long as 24 hours. In general, the respondents were similar to the hardcore smokers that usually attend smoking clinics. Almost 10 percent reported that they had stopped smoking by the end of the broadcasts. The rate of quitting among men was twice that among women. A major factor differentiating those who quit from those who did not was the number of programs they had seen. The lower rate of quitting among women was due mostly to the women smokers over age 50 in the sample. The study indicated that use of the mass media may be an effective way to reach the large number of smokers who would not attend organized clinics but who may be able to stop smoking on their own with minimal support and guidance.
