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.

Abstract Introduction The dual use of smoked and smokeless tobacco (SLT) poses a serious challenge to tobacco control efforts. This article examines the trends and patterns of this usage in India during the period 2009–2010 and 2016–2017. Methods Data from two rounds of nationally representative cross-sectional Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) conducted in 2009–2010 and 2016–2017 have been used. Dual use was assessed based on current smokers and SLT users in both rounds. Results Findings reveal that dual use in India has dropped from 5.3% during 2009–2010 to 3.4% during 2016–2017, a decline

Abstract:

Abstract Background Attentional bias modification (ABM) can help address implicit attention from individuals who smoke toward smoking cues, which trigger cravings and lapses that impede smoking cessation. We developed an ABM mobile game, Fruit Squish, to support individuals who smoke and are quitting as part of a multicomponent smoking cessation mobile app, Quit Journey. Users advance in the game by tapping on neutral (ie, fruit) rather than smoking-related (eg, cigarette pack) imagery that they are presented with, essentially training them to avoid focusing on smoking cues.

<strong>Introduction. </strong>Smoking is a complex medical and social problem not only in Ukraine but also around the world, taking into account high prevalence of this bad habit and its negative impact on human health. Tobacco dependence contributes to the emergence and progression of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and dermatological diseases, adversely affects the psycho-emotional and sexual spheres, increases the risk of cancer and is the most important cause of chronic lung disease. Smoking is characterized by rapid addiction and long-term, and often chronic, addiction (nicotinism). Tod

Abstract Introduction: Smoking is a huge medical and social problem in Poland, with as many as about 24% of Poles being addicted to nicotine. Approximately 6 million people worldwide die every year from conditions that are closely related to tobacco addiction, such as cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic or lung diseases. The difficulty in combatting nicotine dependence is largely due to the complex mechanism of this addiction. The motivation of a patient to quit smoking is of great importance in the difficult withdrawal process. Strengthening this motivation is one of the most important tasks

Abstract:

Background Automatically activated cognitive motivational processes such as the tendency to attend to or approach smoking-related stimuli (ie, attentional and approach bias) have been related to smoking behaviors. Therefore, these cognitive biases are thought to play a role in maintaining smoking behaviors. Cognitive biases can be modified with cognitive bias modification (CBM), which holds promise as an easy-access and low-cost online intervention. However, little is known about the effectiveness of online interventions combining two varieties of CBM. Targeting multiple cognitive biases may i

Abstract:

Smoking causes many deaths worldwide, but people can prevent it. Many smokers find it hard to quit, even though there are different treatment like nicotine patches, counselling, and medicines. This is because nicotine is very addictive, and quitting can cause strong cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Varenicline tartrate is a medicine that helps people stop smoking. It works by affecting nicotine receptors in the brain, reducing craving and withdrawal symptoms. It also blocks the “pleasure” feeling from smoking, making it less enjoyable. Research shows that varenicline tartrate help
