Pharmacologic Relapse Prevention for Alcoholic Smokers

This study will compare the long-term use of bupropion (Wellbutrin) and placebo for reducing the rate of smoking relapse in recovering alcoholics who achieved initial abstinence from smoking with nicotine patch therapy. The study will also determine the cessation rate in the 8th week of treatment among recovering alcoholics using a nicotine patch. The patch dose is projected to serve as a 100-percent replacement.
