Summary
Editor's note
Nicotine dependence is found in at least a billion people worldwide and in millions in the United States and Great Britain. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in all countries, and both active smoking and exposure to passive smoke has significant health care consequences. There currently are public health campaigns in both the UK and USA to combat smoking, and laws against smoking in public places are just one, if not one of the most visible, of the various public and community campaigns against smoking. While these campaigns are effective, most smokers wishing to quit will utilize pharmacological treatments which involve primarily nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or the use of bupropion. Both have substantial evidence as to effectiveness, though there are other secondary pharmacological treatments that also are beginning to find some support such as vareniciline, clonidine and nortriptyline. The NRTs come in various forms from patches to nasal sprays to gum, inhalers, and lozenges. All have substantial support for their effectiveness. Cognitive-behavioural therapies, especially multi-modal interventions that are tailored to the specific patient, have a good deal of success and support for that success as well. Despite these effective interventions, smoking remains a major public health problem.
Introduction
Cigarette smoking is the single largest preventable cause of substantial morbidity and mortality in developed countries.
