Selling smoking cessation
Mené auprès de 4 384 fumeurs (âge : 16 ans ou plus), cet essai évalue, du point de vue du taux de participation à des sessions d'aide au sevrage tabagique, l'efficacité d'une intervention comportant l'envoi d'une lettre personnalisée informant le patient des risques médicaux encourus en cas de non arrêt du tabagisme et accompagnée d'une invitation à une séance de découverte dans un service de cessation tabagique
Most people who have smoked for any significant length of time would like to stop smoking. Findings from prospective studies examining the natural history of efforts to stop smoking show that smokers often make frequent efforts to stop smoking or reduce their consumption, with little long-term success.1 Findings also show that most attempts to stop smoking are unplanned and are typically made without any professional assistance, even though effective support combining behavioural counselling and pharmacotherapy can substantially increase the odds of successfully remaining smoke-free.
