Smoking is a global health risk factor despite the efforts to control and the existance of tobacco cessation program. The objective of this study was to measure the proportion of people who failed to quit smoking at the end of six months after attending the smoking cessation clinic and to identify the factors associated with failure to quit. We used an analytical cross-sectional design which was conducted at Taif city, Saudi Arabia between January 2019 and March 2020. The attendees of smoking cessation clinic were invited to participate in the study. We used a questionnaire as the data collection too. The statistical package for the social sciences (IBM Corp.

ObjectivesThis study examined the associations between the Second-Generation Cessation Payment Scheme (SCPS) and the use of smoking cessation treatments. Furthermore, these associations were compared between light and heavy smokers in Taiwan.DesignThis study had a cross-sectional design.SettingData were obtained from the Taiwan Adult Smoking Behaviour Surveillance System 2010–2011 and 2013–2014; data for each year consisted of a nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 years and older.ParticipantsCurrent smokers who had either quit or made a serious attempt to quit smoking were selected for the analysis.Primary outcome measureThe primary outcome measure was the use of a smoking cessation clinic or pharmacy in a twice daily to quit smoking.ResultsAccording to multivariate analysis, the SCPS was positively associated with the combined use of a smoking cessation clinic and a pharmacy (OR=3.947; 95% CI: 1.359 to 11.463) when individual-level predictors (gender, age, education level, marital status, monthly household income, daily cigarette consumption, smoking status and self-reported health) were controlled. Heavy smokers showed a significant increase in the sole use of a pharmacy (OR=1.676; 95% CI: 1.094 to 2.569) and combined use of a smoking cessation clinic and pharmacy (OR=8.984; 95% CI: 1.914 to 42.173) after the SCPS was introduced. In addition, when related factors were controlled, the use of smoking cessation services was more frequent among heavy smokers than light smokers, including any treatment (OR=1.594; 95% CI: 1.308 to 1.942), a smoking cessation clinic (OR=1.539; 95% CI: 1.232 to 1.922), a pharmacy (OR=1.632; 95% CI: 1.157 to 2.302) and the combination of a smoking cessation clinic and pharmacy (OR=4.608; 95% CI: 1.331 to 15.949) .ConclusionsThe SCPS subsidisation policy increased the use of smoking cessation treatments, particularly among heavy smokers.

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.

Abstract Hospitalization is a good opportunity to offer smoking cessation programs to smokers. Healthcare providers′ (HCP) tobacco consumption and cessation attitudes are known to affect the provision of cessation interventions. Lesser known are Latino HCP’s tobacco intervention attitudes. This study aimed to examine the associations between tobacco cessation attitudes (TCA), levels of consumption, and demographics among Latino HCP’s. A quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional design was used. 66 HCP’s working in a public hospital in Santiago, Chile self-reported demographics (age, gender, profession), tobacco consumption, and TCA. TCA’s include questions regarding Acceptability of Brief Counseling (ABC), belief whether smoking is harmful for patients, and duty to aid patients quit smoking. Majority of HCP’s (34 years old, 83% female, 58.5% technical nurses, 38.5% nurses, 3.1% Kinesiologists) did not consume tobacco (67%). Pearson’s correlation revealed that greater HCP age was significantly associated with less belief that smoking is harmful for their patients (r = -.36, p. = .004). ABC (M = 22, SD = 5.5) was positively associated with the belief that smoking is harmful for patients (r = .306, p = .016) and duty to help patients quit smoking (r = .574, p = .000). Findings provide evidence that HCP’s TCA’s are important factors to consider during implementation of a brief counseling for tobacco cessation. Further research should focus on increasing HCP’s acceptability of providing cessation care to their patients. Specifically, tailoring education and interventions by age might serve useful to address the differences in TCA’s which may subsequently influence their tobacco cessation practices.

Introduction. Smoking is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally and it is a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases. Efforts to encourage and support smokers to quit are critical to prevent premature smoking-associated morbidity and mortality. Hospital settings are seldom equipped to help patients to quit smoking thus missing out a valuable opportunity to support patients at risk of smoking complications. We report the impact of a smoking cessation clinic we have established in a tertiary care hospital setting to serve patients with CVD. Methods. Patients received behavioural and pharmacological treatments and were followed up for a minimum of 6 months (mean 541 days, SD 197 days). The main study outcome is ≥50% reduction in number of cigarettes smoked at followup. Results. One hundred and eighty-six patients completed ≥6 months followup. More than half of the patients (52.7%) achieved ≥50% smoking reduction at follow up. Establishment of a plan to quit smoking and use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) were significantly associated with smoking reduction at followup. Conclusions. A hospital-based smoking cessation clinic is a beneficial intervention to bring about smoking reduction in approximately half of the patients.

Background and objectives: The incidence of morbidity and mortality due to tobacco use is very high. There are several strategies to help smokers quit, one of which is counseling to stop smoking in a clinic setting. The purpose of this study was to explore in depth the utilization of smoking cessation clinics at a PublicHealth Centre (PHC).Method: A qualitative study through in-depth interviews was conducted with 14 informants who had been provided with a counseling at a smoking cessation clinic, consisting of two informants who had quit smoking and 12 informants who were still smoking. Triangulation of data was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews with the head ofPHCand one counselor on duty at the smoking cessation clinic. The information collected includes the utilization of the clinic, strategy of PHCin recruiting patients, knowledge of clinics about smoking cessation and the benefits of attending counseling. Data collection was carried out at the home of each informant during March-April 2018. The results of the interviews were analyzed thematically after a verbatim transcription being conducted. The data presented in a narrative to provide an in-depth description of the utilization of smoking cessation clinics in a PHC.Results: The results of interviews with PHC staff showed that in order to increase the utilization of the smoking cessation clinic, the services are integrated into the general polyclinic. Interviews with informants who have not stopped smoking indicate that to improve the utilization of the clinic, promotion and service variations are needed andnot only focus on counseling. Interviews with informants who have stopped smoking show that counseling at the clinic can increase their willingness to stop smoking.Conclusion: To improve the utilization of smoking cessation clinics, in addition to integrating services into the general polyclinic, promotion and variations in services are also required.
