本研究使用非处方（OTC）销售的尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）来调查2006年3月苏格兰引入无烟立法对戒烟行为的影响。从2004年到2006年，苏格兰的NRT销售（单位和价值）的时间序列与英国其他地区的同期进行了比较，并使用ARIMA时间序列模型进行了分析。2006年前6个月，苏格兰NRT销量的数量和价值有了显著的增长（p0.001），从1月份和禁烟令出台之前就可以明显看出，而英国其他地区没有类似的增长。2006年下半年，NRT的销售没有显著增长。这些数据表明，在引入无烟立法之前的一段时间内，戒烟行为有所增加，但这种情况并没有持续到立法后的头几个月。
This study used over-the-counter (OTC) sales of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to investigate the impact of the introduction of smoke-free legislation in Scotland in March 2006 on smoking cessation behaviour. The time series of NRT sales (units and value) in Scotland from 2004 to 2006 were compared with the same period for the rest of the UK, and analysed using an ARIMA time series model. There was a significant increase in units and value of NRT sales in Scotland in the first 6 months of 2006 (p0.001), apparent from January and prior to the introduction of the smoking ban, with no comparable increase for the rest of the UK. There was no significant increase in NRT sales for the second half of 2006. These data suggest an increase in smoking cessation behaviour in the period immediately before the introduction of smoke-free legislation, but this was not sustained beyond the first few months of the post-legislation period.
