INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the treatment results of patients with a history of lung disease evaluated in our smoking cessation clinic. METHODS: A total of 112 cases referred to and started treatment at the our smoking cessation polyclinic between the dates of 01.01.2018 and 31.12.2018 were retrospectively examined. RESULTS: The median age of the 112 cases were evaluated was 42, and there was a %72,3 prevalence of the male gender. There was no significant difference in terms of gender distribution between cases with a history of acute or chronic lung disease (p=0,721). There was a history of acute lung disease in %55,4 (n=62) of cases, and chronic lung disease in %44,60 (n=50). Similar treatment agents for smoking cessation were used in both groups. At the end of the three-month follow up period, it was observed that 38 patients (%61,3) in the group with a history of acute lung disease, and 29 facts (%58) in the group with a history of chronic lung disease quit smoking, and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0,724). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that acute or chronic respiratory disease did not make a significant differ in the results of smoking cessation treatments.

Background: More than 300 million smokers make China the largest cigarette consumer globally, which is a huge economic burden. Smoking cessation (SC) clinics can offer counseling and follow-up services. The operational experience of SC clinics in China needs to be summarized and improved based on research evidence.Purpose: The objectives of this study were to describe quit rates among attendees of SC clinics in Hunan and assess predictors of successful SC.Methods: The participants in this study were smokers who visited the SC clinic of Hunan Cancer Hospital from February 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018. Individuals who received individual counseling and assessment from the SC clinic staff and were willing to quit smoking were eligible for inclusion. Those with critical illness or cancer were excluded. Application of smoking cessation clinic registration form (unified by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention) was used to assess participants at the consultation. Follow-ups and counseling were performed over telephone at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the initial cessation consultation or in times of need. Successful SC was checked for at 3 months after the start of SC.Results: A total of 328 smokers (mean age 45.67 ± 12.38 years) had participated. The abstinence rate at 3 months was 28.4%. Binary regression analysis revealed significant independent predictors to be the total numbers of SC follow up sessions, previous SC attempts, and participants' decision on when to quit smoking (The relative to quit immediately group, quit within 30 days, quit after 30 days, and undecided quit were less likely to succeed in quitting. while quit within seven days had no statistical significance.Conclusion: SC clinics can achieve a desirably high quit rate. Participant's previous attempts at quitting, three or more follow-ups, and the decision to quit immediately or within seven days were factors helpful in predicting the success of SC.

Subjects and research methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis. The toolkit is based on “The Ministry of Health’s 2018 Tobacco Harm Prevention Guidelines” and related research. Results and discussions: The smoking rate of patients is 59.9%. The number of people accessing tobacco cessation counseling services is lowing with 29.9%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that have relationship between the ability to access counseling services, smoking cessation and smoking (OR = 0.042; p < 0.005), gender (OR = 0.067; p < 0.005), occupation (p < 0.005). Conclusions and recommendations: Patients need to actively learn about the harmful effects of smoking as well as smoking cessation methods and services. The health sector needs to develop plans and provide counseling and smoking cessation services for patients.

Nicotine is responsible for the psychoactive and habit-forming effects of tobacco. Approximately 30% of Americans use tobacco products; half of them are nicotine-dependent. Nicotine has mild stimulant effects. Overdose is rare in experienced users. Some may develop nausea, vomiting, weakness, and dizziness. Withdrawal symptoms include craving, irritability, anxiety, restlessness, and increased appetite. Smokers have elevated exhaled carbon monoxide and serum carboxyhemoglobin levels. Cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, can be detected in blood and urine. Many medical conditions are associated with tobacco use (particularly smoking), including cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, and a variety of malignancies. A number of interventions can help increase smoking cessation rates, including physician advice, counseling, nicotine replacement, varenicline, and bupropion. Electronic cigarettes may help smokers quit or reduce their smoking.
