For example, digital interventions had the same impact on nicotine dependence as traditional interventions, with nearly half of the studies showing a positive trend toward improving smoking habits [ 20 , 29 , 33 , 36 ], and the remaining half showing no significant change [ 19 , 22 , 24 , 26 , 37 ].
