The study was carried out by researchers from University College London, the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies and the Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Poland. It was funded by the UK’s National Prevention Research Initiative and published in the peer-reviewed New England Journal of Medicine. The trial itself was conducted at the smoking cessation clinic of the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre in Warsaw, Poland.
The news coverage of this story was mainly accurate. However, it should be noted that while cytisine has not been “banned” as one headline said, it does not have a licence to market in the UK.
