从当地社区招募的吸烟者（N = 188）完成了一份问卷，测量了使用香烟、尼古丁口香糖、尼古丁贴片和尼古丁鼻喷雾剂的预期结果。与负面影响、渴望、体重和健康风险相关的预期问题来自吸烟后果调查表-成人。正如所预测的那样，吸烟者对香烟有助于控制消极影响、渴望和体重的期望值比尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）高得多。所有的NRT产品预计会比吸烟造成更少的健康风险。正如预测的那样，吸烟者对吸烟有强烈的负面影响减少预期。对于NRT，尽管仍然相对较低，但渴望减少是最强烈的期望。有尼古丁贴片使用经验的个体对NRT有更高的积极预期。对NRT的更大积极期望与更直接的戒烟计划相关。总之，吸烟者对香烟的积极期望似乎并不普遍适用于NRT产品，这可能会限制其使用和有效性。
Smokers (N = 188) recruited from the local community completed a questionnaire that measured expected outcomes of using cigarettes, nicotine gum, nicotine patch, and nicotine nasal spray. Expectancy questions relating to negative affect, craving, weight, and health risks were derived from the Smoking Consequences Questionnaire-Adult. As predicted, smokers held much greater expectancies that cigarettes help control negative affect, craving, and weight relative to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). All NRT products were expected to cause fewer health risks than cigarette smoking. As predicted, smokers held strong negative affect reduction expectancies for cigarette smoking. For NRT, although still relatively low, craving reduction was the strongest expectancy. Individuals who had experience using the nicotine patch had greater positive expectancies for NRT. Greater positive expectancies for NRT were correlated with more immediate plans to quit smoking. In summary, cigarette smokers' positive expectancies about cigarettes do not appear to generalize to NRT products, which may limit their use and effectiveness.
