A New Study Looking at how Cytisine Can Help Nicotine Addiction w/ University of Auckland's Professor Chris Bullen: 2 July, 2026

A new study looking into the best ways to recover from multi-pronged nicotine addiction has just been launched.

While typical addiction recovery methods include weaning off a product or using a lighter dosage, this study looks into a new drug, cytisine, which can help reduce nicotine addiction. This study aims to find the most effective way for people to make a clean break from nicotine dependence.

To discuss the drug, addiction recovery, and what this study could mean more broadly, Producer Pranuja spoke to author Professor Chris Bullen from the University of Auckland.
