Brief interventions by physicians can bring about smoking cessation and control relapse.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking cessation, often known as quitting smoking or stopping smoking, is the process of ending tobacco use. Nicotine, which is addictive and can lead to dependency, is present in tobacco smoke. As a result, nicotine withdrawal frequently makes quitting difficult. Smoking is the leading preventable cause of mortality and a global public health concern. Tobacco use is most typically associated with disorders of the heart and lungs, with smoking being a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), emphysema, and numerous cancer types and subtypes. Smoking cessation reduces the chance of dying from smoking-related diseases substantially. When a doctor talks to a patient about smoking, it is one of the most potent triggers for them to consider quitting. The electronic health record can be used to prompt physicians and nursing personnel to inquire about the patient's smoking habits.
