Abstract:
Our prospective, randomized, controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the self-help book, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, by Allen Carr, in promoting smoking cessation in patients with head and neck cancer. We assessed active smokers for their willingness to read a smoking cessation book. Participants were randomized to either receive the book from our department or recommended to purchase the book. All patients received smoking cessation counseling at recruitment. Phone surveys were conducted at short- and long-term intervals to determine if the patients had purchased and/or read the book and whether they were still smoking. One hundred twelve patients were recruited, 52 of whom completed follow-up surveys. Those who received the book for free were more likely to read the book (p = 0.05). Reading the book did not correlate with successful smoking cessation (p = 0.81). Some 26% of the 27 patients who received the book quit smoking compared with 32% of the 25 patients who were recommended the book (p = 0.76). Patients who indicated motivation to quit smoking were more likely to succeed. In our study, smoking cessation did not appear to be influenced by reading The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Despite 80.8% of the cohort indicating at least a readiness to quit smoking at recruitment, only 28.8% of patients managed to achieve successful smoking cessation at long-term follow-up. Patient motivation remains an important factor in achieving long-term smoking abstinence. Quitting smoking remains a daunting challenge for patients, with multiple interventions likely needed to achieve cessation.

Abstract:
The Quit4Life cessation program was developed in 1993. it was designed to give teenage smokers the tools they need to quit smoking. The idea for the Quit4Life program stemmed from Health Canada's belief that an informational, easy-to-obtain kit could benefit teenagers who are motivated to quit smoking.

Abstract:
Cigarette smoking is the largest preventable risk factor for morbidity and mortality in developed countries. The prevalence of smoking is increasing in Malaysia. Over the years, we have accumulated the knowledge of the risks and dangers of smoking towards health and had used these as interventions to motivate smokers to quit smoking. However, quitting smoking is hard as people who stop smoking often start again because of weight gain, stress and withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the challenges to quit smoking among smokers in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Sepang, Selangor. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a combination of stratified and simple random sampling. The study was conducted via a face-to-face interview using a standardized questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 20.0. Easy availability of cigarettes was the most challenging factor (86%) followed by seeing things that reminded the respondents of smoking (58%), feeling lost without smoking (53%) and withdrawal symptoms (47%). To combat these challenges, it is imperative to strengthen the enforcement on regulations advertisement and display of cigarettes and develop more activities on motivation among smokers and their families, which may be organized by government or non-government organizations. Other than that, another important aspect in the promoting smoking cessation program is to encourage smoke-free homes.

Abstract:
Background Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with a reduced likelihood of smoking cessation. Smartphone ownership is increasing rapidly, including among low-income adults, and smartphone interventions for smoking cessation may increase access to smoking cessation treatment among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an automated smartphone-based approach to delivering financial incentives for smoking cessation. Methods Socioeconomically disadvantaged adults initiating tobacco cessation treatment were followed from 1 week before a scheduled quit attempt through 26 weeks after the quit date. Participants received telephone counseling and nicotine replacement therapy. Smoking cessation was verified 5 times per week via smartphone prompts to self-report smoking status and submit a breath sample via a portable carbon monoxide (CO) monitor that was connected with participants’ smartphones. Identity was verified during smoking status assessments using smartphone-based facial recognition software. When smoking abstinence and identity were verified, an automated credit card payment was triggered. Participants were incentivized for abstinence on the quit date and up to five days per week during the first 4 weeks after the scheduled quit date, with additional incentives offered during postquit weeks 8 and 12. In total, participants had the opportunity to earn up to US $250 in abstinence-contingent incentives over the first 12 weeks of the quit attempt. Results Participants (N=16) were predominantly female (12/16, 75%) and non-Hispanic white (11/16, 69%), black (4/16, 25%), or Hispanic of any race (1/16, 6%). Most participants (9/16, 56%) reported an annual household income of <US $11,000. During the first 4 weeks after the scheduled quit date, participants completed a median of 16 (out of 21; range 1-21) mobile smoking status assessments, and they earned a median of US $28 in abstinence-contingent incentives (out of a possible US $150; range US $0-US $135). Median earnings did not change during the 8- and 12-week incentivized follow-up periods (total median earnings over 12 weeks=US $28; range US $0-US $167). During the first 4 weeks after the scheduled quit date, participants abstained from smoking on a median of 5 (out of 21) assessment days (range 0-20). At the in-person follow-up visits, the expired CO-confirmed 7-day point prevalence abstinence rates were 19% (3/16) and 13% (2/16) at 12 and 26 weeks postquit, respectively. Overall, most participants reported that the system was easy to use and that they would recommend this treatment to their friends and family. Conclusions Preliminary data suggest that this smartphone-based approach to verifying identity and smoking status and automating the delivery of abstinence-contingent incentives to a credit card is feasible for use among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults. However, continued refinement is warranted.

Abstract:
AbstractGuidelines recommend that general practitioners (GPs) should advise all smoking patients to quit and provide additional stop-smoking interventions as appropriate. This study aimed to improve our understanding of how this recommendation can be achieved. General practitioners (N = 26) from London completed a questionnaire about their stop-smoking interventions and psychological factors that might affect these. Thirty-one per cent of the patients recognised as smokers by GPs did not receive an intervention and two-thirds of these were judged to be inappropriate for receipt of an intervention. Psychological factors that predicted behaviour were perceptions that doing this was ‘normative’, making an effort to make it happen, and feeling that the behaviour was easy to enact. Strategies to improve guideline implementation may be more effective if they addressed the above psychological factors.

Abstract:
Although Black/African American populations have high cigar-smoking prevalence, little is known about cigar-smoking cessation among this group. This study explored the perceptions and experiences of cigar-smoking cessation and assistance received from healthcare providers among forty Black young-adult cigar smokers (ages 21–29). Semi-structured in-depth phone interviews were transcribed and coded. Qualitative data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. Participants mostly smoked cigarillos, large cigars, and blunts. Overall, many regular cigarillo smokers reported interest in quitting eventually, while large-cigar and blunt smokers shared less interest in quitting because they perceived low harm from smoking these products. The reasons for cigar-smoking cessation were health concerns and financial constraints. Most of the participants who attempted to quit cigars did not use any cessation aids. The reasons for relapse included nicotine withdrawal, stress, and easy access. Additionally, most participants reported their healthcare providers did not ask whether they smoked cigars, and even when they knew, little assistance for cigar-smoking cessation was provided. Informing Black cigar smokers of the harm of cigar smoking and encouraging healthcare providers to screen for and assist with cigar-smoking cessation may alleviate the health burden of cigar smoking in this population.

Abstract:
Background and context: Tobacco use is a devastating problem all over the world and in the Middle East. In Egypt 20% of the adult populations are using any type of tobacco and the problem is increasing among youth especially waterpipe. Tobacco industry is targeting the youth through many ways and using indirect ways in drama and points of sale. Raising the awareness of the public about smoking hazards and benefits of quitting is one important strategy to control the epidemic. Providing support and help material is very important. Behavioral support and promoting change is very important using coaching strategies and using new tools is very helpful to reach youth. Aim: Motivating current smokers to quit through the effect of role model using new tools for behavioral support. Strategy/Tactics: Providing the message and support through new tools as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook where smokers who is able to quit provide information about their smoking experience and how they overcome it. Program/Policy process: Tobacco treatment specialist worked in collaboration with few young medical students to develop a Facebook page on the World No Tobacco Day 2016 and developed different posts about smoking problem and inviting viewers to add their inputs. During the early days of the campaign the team used the Facebook ads tool to promote for the page and this was sponsored by few supporters. The team who is in charge of managing the Facebook page then thought about new ideas to increase the reach and impact of the page where inviting smokers who was able to quit or take a selfie with a piece of paper writing how many days they were able to abide from smoking. The page during few months made a trend on social media. Outcomes: The reach of the page was 3 million and the reactions were 500 thousand engagement with 52 thousand members. About three thousand smokers were able to quit with following the stories sent on the page. What was learned: Using social media tools is very good way to reach out and mobilize the public to change the behavior.

Abstract:
Background: Smoking cessation programs started as late as 4 weeks before surgery reduce perioperative morbidity and death, yet outpatient clinic interventions are rarely provided. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a tobacco treatment protocol designed for an outpatient surgical setting. Methods: We completed a pre–post feasibility study of the implementation of a systematic, evidence-based tobacco treatment protocol in an outpatient colorectal surgery clinic. Outcomes included smoking prevalence, pre- and postimplementation smoker identification and intervention rates, recruitment, retention, smoking cessation and provider satisfaction. Results: Preimplementation, 15.5% of 116 surveyed patients were smokers. Fewer than 10% of urveyed patients reported being asked about smoking, and none were offered any cessation intervention. Over a 16-month postimplementation period, 1198 patients were seen on 2103 visits. Of these, 950 (79.3%) patients were asked smoking status on first visit and 1030 (86.0%) were asked on at least 1 visit. Of 169 identified smokers, 99 (58.6%) were referred to follow-up support using an opt-out approach. At 1-, 3- and 6-month follow-up, intention-to-quit rates among 78 enrolled patients were 24.4%, 22.9% and 19.2%, respectively. Postimplementation staff surveys reported that the protocol was easy to use, that staff would use it again and that it had positive patient responses. Conclusion: Implementation of our smoking cessation protocol in an outpatient surgical clinic was found to be feasible and used minimal clinic resources. This protocol could lead to increases in identification and documentation of smoking status, delivery of smoking cessation interventions and rates of smoking reduction and cessation.

Abstract:
Background: Socio-economic status can be an important determinant for patterns of tobacco consumption and its related health risks. Easy availability and affordable price may lead to the indulgence of smokeless tobacco; this deprived the section of society towards addiction of smokeless tobacco. Therefore, this study was conducted to ascertain smokeless tobacco use and its dependence in urban slum population of Jodhpur city.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the urban-slum population of Jodhpur in 2019. A cluster sampling strategy was used to collect data from 1200 participants in different slums of Jodhpur city. The semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on tobacco usage and willingness to quit.Results: Out of surveyed 1200 participants, 48.5% were males and 51.4% were females. 65.7% of the tobacco users reported in study population. Among tobacco user’s majority were using smokeless tobacco (75.4%), followed by 14.8% dual tobacco users and 9.8% were smoking tobacco. Out of female and male tobacco users, 95% females and 86.3% males were using smokeless forms of tobacco respectively. The frequency of daily tobacco use, time of tobacco chewing, duration of tobacco use was significantly associated with gender. No significant association was found between willingness to quit and gender.Conclusions: Smokeless tobacco was prevalent as compared to smoking form in urban-slums of Jodhpur city. Younger population and women were more attracted towards smokeless tobacco and willingness to quit tobacco was equally prevalent among males and females. An effective health education strategy for tobacco cessation should be designed according to age and gender of urban-slums.

Abstract:
This case may represent one of the common problems faced by clinicians involved in treatment patients with chronic pain. There appears to be a growing number of patients with a sense of entitlement, which manifests itself in requests to medications to address a plethora of problems. They often resist, if not resent, suggestions for lifestyle changes, (eg, exercise, diet, smoking reduction, use of nutritional supplements, stress management, etc.). They perceive and prefer pharmacological therapy (ie, chemical coping). This helps to dissolver them of any responsibility for the problems and encourages iatrogenic dependence on the medical system. Sometimes writing a prescription is the most efficient way to end on office-based consultation. This approach, however, may be detrimental to the patient in the long run.
