TL;DR
Previous attempts to quit smoking and a low saliva cotinine concentration were significantly associated with abstinence in the nicotine-treated group and a trend toward higher abstinence rates was found among males and among subjects with a low nicotine dependency score.
Abstract
The relation between weight gain, withdrawal scoring, and outcome seems rather complex. Craving for cigarettes was the most reported reason for relapse.

Observer and subject ratings of the DSM-III symptoms of craving for tobacco, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and restlessness increased after cessation, and bradycardia, impatience, somatic complaints, insomnia, increased hunger, and increased eating occurred after cessation.

Effective methods of weight control are needed for smokers trying to quit, as major weight gain is strongly related to smoking cessation, but it occurs in only a minority of those who stop smoking.
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A (General)The Classification of Smoking by Factorial Structure of Motives

It is suggested that it may prove more useful to classify smokers according to their position on the single dimension of pharmacological addiction to nicotine rather than in terms of their profiles on the six types of smoking.
Psychological MedicineSeverity of withdrawal symptoms as a predictor of outcome of an attempt to quit smoking
282 Citations1989Robert West, Peter Hájek +1 more
The findings provide some support for the view that reduction of withdrawal symptoms may be a worthwhile target in programmes for helping smokers to quit.
Addictive BehaviorsPredictors of outcome and recidivism in smoking cessation treatment

It is suggested that treatment effectiveness might be enhanced by providing components which take into account individual subject characteristics, including those which predicted recidivism and vice versa.
Preventive MedicineBaseline factors associated with smoking cessation and relapse
150 Citations1991Norman Hymowitz, Mary Sexton +2 more
The data are relevant in terms of factors that govern smoking cessation and relapse for adult smokers who take part in formal intervention programs and for those who are left to modify their behavior on their own.

63 Citations1989Þorsteinn Blöndal
Of participants with a high nicotine-dependence score, those allotted to the nicotine group rather than to the placebo group were 13 times more likely to be abstaining at the 2-year follow-up, suggesting use of nicotine polacrilex gum can substantially aid in stopping smoking, particularly among highly dependent smokers.
British Journal of AddictionIndividual differences in difficulty quitting smoking
60 Citations1991Petr Hájek
Several areas of research into determinants of ability to quit smoking are discussed, including measures of dependence, reactivity to nicotine, severity of withdrawal symptoms, endurance of discomfort, and psychological well being.
Preventive MedicineMultivariate statistical models for predicting change in smoking behavior following physician advice to quit smoking
42 Citations1982Linda L. Pederson, Jon C. Baskerville +1 more
Multivariate predictive models were developed for four dichotomous dependent variables: cessation versus continuation of smoking, reduction in amount smoked versus no reduction, successful cessation versus recidivism, and unsuccessful quitting attempts versus no attempt to quit.
PsychopharmacologyEffect of glucose tablets on craving for cigarettes
37 Citations1990Robert West, Peter Hájek +1 more
There was a significant reduction in ratings of urges to smoke and craving in the glucose group compared with the sorbitol group, which support a theory postulating a link between glucoregulation and cigarette craving.

23 Citations1989J Prignot
Nicotine gum, when administered to highly dependent smokers motivated to stop, with the appropriate technique, effects a moderate increase not only in the cessation rate but also in the long-term abstention rate, in so far as the necessary psychological support is provided.
