One group receives the treatment with the acupuncture needles. The second group of subjects serves as a comparison group and is given relaxation instruction while on the examining table but they receive no acupuncture treatment. The number of cigarettes smoked the next day is recorded for all subjects. For the following data, determine if there is a significant effect of acupuncture on cigarette consumption.
