Cessation Rate

Background: Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. The rates of smoking remain elevated in rural, low income populations in comparison with the rest of the United States. Thus, prompting the process improvement project of implementing the Ask–Advise–Connect (AAC) method to the national quitline in a nurse practitioner–managed clinic for an automotive manufacturing plant in rural Tennessee. Methods: Ask–Advise–Connect method was added to the current smoking cessation program. The employees who utilized the clinic were assessed for smoking status at each visit and subsequently counseled on cessation. Individuals interested in cessation were connected to the national quitline with the AAC method. Pharmaceutical options and nicotine replacement therapy was also offered at no cost to the employee. Findings: In the 4-month period, the clinic provided 102 tobacco cessation counseling visits to workers who smoke. Twenty-four employees enrolled in the cessation program. The participants reported a cessation rate of 12.5% and 21% had a significant decrease in the number of cigarettes smoked. Of the participants, 12.5% ( n = 3) engaged in behavioral counseling with the quitline. Conclusion/application to practice: The addition of the AAC method as part of the smoking cessation program had limited success. As smoking cessation is difficult to achieve, any success greater than 7% can be considered an achievement. The 12.5% cessation rate of the participants was above the national average. Thus, demonstrating the benefit of having a workplace cessation program and incorporating the AAC method to the current smoking cessation program.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse smoking behaviour in patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary TB (PTB).METHODS: The study population comprised 421 inpatients newly diagnosed with NSCLC, COPD and PTB at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China, and 362 healthy individuals (controls) recruited from September 2016 to March 2017. All participants were current smokers. After enrolment, the subjects were invited to participate in face-to-face interviews to complete the self-designed questionnaire. A follow-up survey was performed 2 years later.RESULTS: Two years after being diagnosed, patients with NSCLC, COPD and PTB had smoking cessation rates of respectively 76.8%, 62.8% and 63.7%. The cessation rate was only 10.2% in the control group (P < 0.01). The difficulty of smoking cessation after diagnosis in patients with the three diseases was significantly decreased (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The smoking cessation rate among participants suffering from NSCLC, COPD and PTB increased after diagnosis compared with that before diagnosis, and was significantly higher than the control group of healthy individuals.

Abstract Background People who are eager to quit smoking often lack long-term, daily smoking cessation guidance. Besides, advances in mobile communication technology offer promising ways to provide tobacco dependence treatment. However, it is unclear whether doctors-WeChat network can improve the smoking cessation rate of nicotine-dependent patients. Methods In this prospective single-blind cohort study, we recruited 250 smokers from April, 2018 to August, 2018. They were randomly divided into two groups with or without doctors' active smoking cessation service and followed-up for 6 months. The smoking cessation rate and the characteristics of successful smoking cessation groups were compared. The reasons for relapse were also analyzed. Results After beginning quit for 3months, the success rate of the group with respiratory physicians actively involved was 65.0% (80/123) ; the success rate of control group was 34.7% (34/98). Quit for 6 months, the success rate of the group with respiratory physicians actively involved was 55.3% (68/123) ; the control group was 11.2% (11/98). There was no difference in weight change between the two groups. Subgroup analysis showed that among men who were younger than 45 years old or unemployment, doctors' participation has a greater impact on the success of smoking cessation. Conclusions Doctors in mobile-smoking cessation services plays a very important role to improve quit rates. Our research provides methodological guidance for further clinical trials and provides a template for further real-world application of smoking cessation services.

Introduction: Varenicline effectively helps smokers quit by reducing withdrawal symptoms and blocking the reward of smoking. However, most quitters return to smoking within 1 year. “Cue-restricted smoking” is a behavioral technique designed to increase quit rates by asking smokers attempting to quit to restrict smoking to the standing position, while alone, in an isolated area facing a wall, with the cigarette as the only stimulus. Hypothesis: We compared the effectiveness of cue-restricted smoking cessation advice versus standard target quit date advice from day 8 of initiating varenicline in smokers making a quit attempt at the Smoking Cessation Service at the Prevention Department of the Heart Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Using retrospective clinic records we compared quit rates in 281 smokers (50% males) instructed in the cue-restricted smoking cessation method during 2016-18 to quit rates in 324 smokers (46% males) advised to completely stop smoking on the target quit date which we previously used during 2011-14. All were prescribed varenicline for 12 weeks alone, with the addition of bupropion if needed after 4 weeks. Follow-up consisted of behavioral support at 4-6 visits during active drug treatment and telephone counselling at 24 and 52 weeks. The smoking cessation rate was confirmed with expired carbon monoxide at the 12-week clinic visit and only by telephone at 52 weeks. Results: The mean age of smokers was 49 ±12 years both groups and the number of cigarettes smoked daily was similar (18/day in the cue-restricted versus 19/day in the target quit day group). The smoking cessation rate at 12 weeks was 75% in the cue-restricted versus 45% in the target quit day group (relative risk 1.8; 95% confidence interval 1.4-2.2; p<0.001). At 52 weeks the quit rate was 65% vs 34% respectively (relative risk 1.9; 95% confidence interval 1.5-2.4; p<0.001). Conclusion: Cue restricted smoking substantially increased the chance of quitting compared with standard advice during treatment with varenicline . These results should be further studied in a randomized controlled trial.
