MethodsA community sample of predominately Black smokers (N= 45; 66.7% Black) were randomized to receive NicoBloc or nicotine lozenge. Both groups engaged in 4 weeks of smoking cessation therapy followed by 2 months of independent usage with monthly check-ins to assess medication adherence. The intervention lasted 12 weeks, and the study concluded with a 1-month postintervention follow-up visit (week 16).ResultsNicoBloc was comparable with nicotine lozenge in smoking reduction, feasibility, symptom adverse effects, and reported acceptability at week 16. Participants in the lozenge group endorsed higher treatment satisfaction ratings during the intervention and lower cigarette dependence. Adherence to NicoBloc was superior throughout the study.ConclusionNicoBloc was feasible and acceptable to community smokers. NicoBloc presents a unique, nonpharmacological intervention. Future research is needed to examine whether this intervention may be most effective in subpopulations where pharmacological approaches are restricted or in combination with established pharmacological methods such as nicotine replacement therapy.
