Which behavioral interventions help people quit smoking, and what factors influence how successful they are?
Individual or group counseling, guaranteed financial incentives, and text message–based counseling provide the greatest benefit to people trying to quit smoking. Population characteristics do not consistently affect the success of these interventions. Any of the interventions provide additional benefit even when smoking cessation pharmacotherapy is prescribed.
What are the available treatment options for aphthous stomatitis?
Aphthous stomatitis may be treated with topical corticosteroids (gel or rinse) or, less commonly, intralesional corticosteroids.
