7Why should we treat tobacco dependence?
- Tobacco causes the premature death of almost half
a million Americans each year (1 preventable
cause) - 1/2 of all lifetime tobacco users in this country
will die prematurely from tobacco dependence,
losing an average of 14 years - Tobacco use causes or worsens every ailment your
patients face, and hinders their recovery - 70 of smokers want to quit
8Why Dont They Just Quit?
- Most smokers (70) WANT to quit
- Nearly 50 of smokers make a serious quit attempt
each year - Most do not succeed because they try without
assistance (only 2-5 succeed quitting cold
turkey) - Assisted quit attempts - medication and
counseling - success rates leaps to 25- 30 - Quitting takes practice
- Quitting takes treatment
9What Can Hospitals Do?
- Ensure that every smoker is offered the very best
possible chance to succeed with quitting - Counseling
- Person-to-person counseling is most effective
(over the phone, in groups or individual) and
more sessions offer better chances of succeeding - Smokers are much more likely to use telephone
counseling than group or individual counseling - Medications
- Zyban and/or Nicotine replacement (gum, patch,
inhaler, lozenge, nasal spray)
