Abstract: Two forms of non-smokter training are compared within the framework of a 4-week rehabilitation programme. Test group V (behavioural therapy) was prepared for the therapeutic goal of abstinence in a small group in two sessions of 45 minutes each. Group VA (behavioural therapy and acupuncture) was treated in addition in a single ear acupuncture session lasting 20min. Measured by the success criterion abstinence, the combination of behavioural therapy and acupuncture was clearly superior. Both methods resulted in siginficant reduction of average cigarette consumption, which was still pronounced 6 months after completion of therapy. The non-abstinent smokders in both therapeutic groups were also able to reduce the average number of cigarettes smoked by a significant amount.
