Authors' recommendations:
Varenicline is likely to be clinically effective and cost-effective if one assumes, as the clinical trials and the manufacturer's model do, that each user makes a single quit attempt. The key area of uncertainty concerns the long-term experience of subjects who have remained abstinent from smoking beyond 12 months. The health economic model makes an assumption of sustained benefit for the remaining 81 years of the time horizon. The validity of the assumption of sustained benefit between treatment groups is unclear.
