Why 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

8
Why Dont They Just Quit?

• Most smokers WANT to quit (70)
• 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 leap to 25- 30
• Quitting takes practice
• Quitting takes treatment

9
What 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)
