dc.description.abstractIt is evident that tobacco use can lead to nicotine dependence and serious health problems. It is equally evident that cessation can significantly reduce the risk of suffering from smoking related diseases. Total cessation is the only intervention with the potential to reduce tobacco-related mortality in the short- and medium-term, whilst a reduction in consumption has a limited effect. Some smokers quit without using evidence-based cessation treatments. However, there are treatments that have been proven to be effective for smokers who want help to quit. Simple advice from a physician has been shown to increase abstinence rates significantly compared to no advice.en_GB
