  • Number of Participants With Seven-day Point Prevalence of Abstinence [ Time Frame: Week 12 and 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of participants who, at the given visit or telephone contact, reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products (treatment phase) or tobacco products (non-treatment phase) in the last 7 days and who did not have CO >10 ppm on that day
