[0002] In the past two decades, in the research on smoking cessation methods, the strategy of reducing as the ultimate goal or means to stop smoking has been explored. However, little attention has been paid to this strategy in recent years. In fact, these methods are not included in the treatment plan recommended by the Center for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) on disease control and prevention of smoking cessation guidelines (this authoritative review outlines health standards for cessation of smoking). See AHCPR Publication No. 96-0692, April 1996, American Public Health Summer. [0003] There is a clear lack of innovative methods for reducing or quitting smoking. Most smoking control methods are cessation methods and do not require the aid of ph...
