Nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) such as gum, patches, lozenges, inhalers, and sprays provide nicotine to help people quit smoking without the harmful chemicals in cigarettes. They are available in varying doses by prescription or over-the-counter to address different levels of nicotine addiction. While NRTs are more effective for quitting than going cold turkey, some people prefer alternative cessation medications like Zyban or Champix that do not contain nicotine but help curb cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Recent studies show that stop smoking programs combined with NRT can quadruple success rates for quitting permanently.
This document provides information on brief tobacco cessation counseling. It discusses the three-link chain of tobacco dependence, including biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors.

Dr. Priyanka Kumawat presented on smoking cessation treatments. Key points:
1) Quitting smoking reduces health risks but is difficult due to nicotine addiction. Over 1 billion people smoke worldwide and smoking causes many cancers and pulmonary/cardiovascular diseases.
2) FDA-approved smoking cessation treatments include nicotine replacement therapies, bupropion, and varenicline. Emerging treatments include e-cigarettes, vaccines, and drugs targeting nicotine receptors or withdrawal symptoms.
3) All smokers trying to quit should be offered medication. Higher doses of nicotine replacements may help highly dependent smokers. Second-line drugs like clonidine may help those unable to use first-line
This document discusses smoking cessation and tobacco use. It begins with a brief history of tobacco use and cultivation. It then covers nicotine addiction including the mechanisms of action of nicotine in the brain and body. Withdrawal symptoms and reasons for smoking are explored. The 5 A's model of smoking cessation counseling is described involving asking about smoking history, advising smokers to quit, assessing readiness, assisting with a plan, and arranging follow up. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological cessation methods are summarized.
This document provides guidance on using the 5As method to help patients quit smoking. The 5As include: Ask about smoking status, Advise smokers to quit, Assess willingness to quit, Assist with a plan to quit, and Arrange follow-up support.

The overall goal is to help smokers understand smoking dangers and develop a personalized plan to quit through counseling and support.
This document discusses the health effects of smoking and provides information on smoking cessation. Some key points:
1) Smoking significantly increases the risk of developing respiratory diseases and cancer, and over half of respiratory disease deaths are due to smoking. The risks diminish rapidly after quitting.
2) Nicotine replacement therapies like patches, gum, and lozenges can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and increase success rates for quitting. Bupropion is also used as a non-nicotine oral therapy.
3) Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) like e-cigarettes are increasingly popular but their long-term safety is still unknown. While they may contain fewer toxicants than cigarettes, health risks may
1) Smoking is an addiction caused by nicotine binding to acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This results in the release of dopamine and creates dependence.
2) Smoking cessation requires motivation, easing withdrawal symptoms, and preventing relapse as smoking is a chronic disease similar to other disorders.
3) Effective smoking cessation approaches include counseling and pharmacotherapy. Combining the two gives the best results, such as using nicotine replacements and drugs like varenicline.
Steps of Smoking Cessation Badr Bin Himd.pptxFayzaRayes
This document outlines the steps for smoking cessation counseling using the 5As technique. It begins by establishing smoking as a major health problem in Saudi Arabia, with prevalence rates ranging from 2.4-52.3%. The 5As technique involves asking about tobacco use, advising the patient to quit, assessing willingness to quit, assisting with a plan to quit, and arranging follow-up support. Counseling should be tailored based on a patient's stage of change and use motivational techniques. Pharmacotherapy and follow-up are important to prevent relapse among those trying to quit. The 5As approach is effective when fully implemented in clinical settings.
The document discusses the harms of smoking and benefits of smoking cessation. Smoking causes numerous diseases and premature death, while quitting smoking at any age leads to immediate and long-term health improvements. Effective smoking cessation requires a comprehensive program with public education, community programs, helping smokers quit through counseling and medications, school programs, enforcement of tobacco regulations, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on tobacco cessation. It discusses the large number of tobacco users in India and the health impacts of tobacco use. It outlines regulatory, service-based, and educational approaches to tobacco control and the role of dentists in counseling patients. The 5 A's model for tobacco cessation counseling is described. Nicotine replacement therapies and other pharmacological aids are discussed. The presentation emphasizes the importance of dentists' involvement in tobacco control through counseling, advocacy, and community education efforts.
Nicotine is the highly addictive drug in cigarettes. It is ranked as more addictive than alcohol, cocaine, and heroin. Cigarettes contain over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic, including arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide. Smoking causes diseases like lung cancer, heart disease, and COPD. While the cost of cigarettes seems high, the total health costs of smoking are much greater, estimated at close to £1,000 per year on average. Quitting smoking can be achieved through nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medications, cutting down gradually, or going "cold turkey" by stopping altogether.

Hookah, Marijuana And Smoking Cessations PowerpointShawk6
Any type of smoking, including hookah and marijuana, can damage the lungs. While marijuana may have some therapeutic benefits, smoking it is still harmful to lung health as the smoke contains carcinogenic compounds. There are numerous techniques available to help with smoking cessation, such as going cold turkey, using nicotine replacements like patches or gum, or seeking medical aids from a doctor. The best approach is to choose a cessation method and commit to quitting smoking.
The document discusses smoking cessation and approaches for quitting smoking. It covers the following key points:
- Part I provides an introduction and discusses the health effects of smoking.
- Part II outlines evidence that smoking increases risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
- Part III discusses the benefits of quitting smoking.
- Part IV describes two approaches - the 5A's model and 5R's model - that healthcare providers can use to help patients quit smoking through counseling and support. It details the steps in each model including asking about tobacco use, advising patients to quit, assessing willingness and barriers, assisting with treatment options, and arranging follow-up support.
The document discusses nicotine addiction and pharmacotherapy options for smoking cessation. It begins by explaining how nicotine acts on the brain's reward pathway similarly to drugs like heroin and cocaine. Nicotine rapidly increases dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, reinforcing the behavior. Pharmacotherapies like nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, and varenicline can help relieve withdrawal symptoms and cravings by interacting with nicotinic receptors. NRT is considered low risk and safer than smoking, delivering nicotine without other harmful chemicals. Combining medication with behavioral counseling improves quit rates.
1. Nicotine is highly addictive and causes physical and psychological dependence. Withdrawal from nicotine can cause cravings and symptoms like headaches and irritability.
2. Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body and causes many types of cancer as well as respiratory and heart diseases. Secondhand smoke also increases health risks.
3. Tobacco use, especially before age 18, often leads to long-term addiction. Social influences and misinformation can convince youth to experiment with tobacco despite known health risks. Resisting peer pressure requires assertiveness, education, and choosing non-smoking friends.
The document discusses the negative health impacts of tobacco use and provides information to help smokers quit. It notes that tobacco kills nearly 6 million people annually, including over 600,000 from secondhand smoke exposure. Tobacco contains over 4,000 chemicals, with at least 250 being harmful and over 50 causing cancer. The main ingredient, nicotine, is highly addictive and controls users physically and psychologically. The document then provides tips and resources to help smokers quit, including nicotine replacement therapy and consulting specialists.
In these slides the affects and causes of smoking are discussed. The probable solutions to smoking are also discussed at length. The causes and affects of smoking Sheesha and Hookah are also discussed in these slides. Moreover, a little discussion on Gutka and Chalia has also been done.
The document outlines the chronological health benefits of quitting smoking. Within minutes of quitting, the body begins to heal and heart rate and blood pressure drop after 20 minutes. After 12 hours, carbon monoxide levels in the blood return to normal. Lung function and circulation improve within 2 weeks to 3 months. After 1 to 9 months, cilia function returns to normal in the lungs, reducing infection risk. The excess risk of heart disease is halved after 1 year and stroke risk becomes equal to a non-smoker within 5 to 15 years. After 10 years, the lung cancer death rate is half of a continuing smoker and after 15 years, the risk of heart disease equals a non-smoker.
Tobacco contains over 4000 chemicals, including 63 known carcinogens. Smoking is highly addictive due to nicotine and kills more people worldwide than AIDS, automobile accidents, alcohol, fires, homicides, suicides, and drug overdoses combined. Starting at a young age puts one at high risk of lifelong addiction and negative health consequences, including various cancers and premature death. Secondhand smoke also endangers others, especially infants and children. Quitting smoking has significant health benefits.
The document discusses smoking epidemiology and interventions for smoking cessation. It notes that smoking is a major cause of preventable disease and death in the US. Effective interventions for smoking cessation include physician advice, nicotine replacement therapy, antidepressants like bupropion, and the drug varenicline. Counseling smokers and addressing nicotine withdrawal are important parts of treatment.
The document provides information about traditional and commercial tobacco. It discusses:
- How traditional tobacco was used by Indigenous communities for healing and ceremonies, in contrast to commercial tobacco which contains over 4000 chemicals and targets consumer groups.
- The highly addictive nature of nicotine in commercial tobacco and the difficulty of quitting due to withdrawal symptoms.
- The numerous health effects of smoking, such as various cancers and increased risk of diabetes, as well as the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure.
- Statistics on smoking rates among Indigenous populations and costs of tobacco use. The summary concludes by outlining some of the health benefits experienced after quitting smoking.

Breaking the smoking addiction with hypnotherapy a short guidejanefielder02
Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for breaking smoking addictions. During a hypnotherapy session, the patient is placed in a relaxed state where their mind is open to suggestions. The hypnotherapist then works to change the patient's thought patterns related to smoking by giving suggestions to reduce cravings and associate smoking with unpleasant feelings. Hypnotherapy teaches self-hypnosis techniques to continue the treatment at home. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of numerous health issues like infertility, gum disease, heart disease, lung cancer, and other cancers.

Tobacco is the number one killer in the world and kills around 9 lakh people annually in India alone. The victims succumb to tobacco in the most productive years of their life.

India has signed in the year 2005 and initiated measures to bring down the demand and supply of tobacco in India as mandated by the FCTC. India has the second highest number of tobacco users in the world, at an alarming number of 274 million users (GATS Report, 2010) and it is high time we act together to make India Tobacco Free for a healthier and wealthier tomorrow

4. Aim of Session
• To provide some information on
smoking, the chemicals in a
cigarette, benefits of stopping
• To let you know about things that
may help you to stop
• To let you know about the Stop
Smoking Service within the hospital
9. 3 Main Chemicals …
Nicotine
• The only addictive chemical in tobacco
• Increases the heart rate.
10. 3 Main Chemicals …
Tar
• Contains over 60 known Carcinogens
• When smoke is inhaled 70% of tar is
deposited on the lungs
11. 3 Main Chemicals
Carbon Monoxide
• Poisonous, invisible gas released by a
burning cigarette
• Reduces the amount of oxygen in your
blood
• Causes low energy levels, shortness of
breath & tiredness.
• Increases your risk of heart disease, stroke
& circulation problems
12. Contaminants
• Fungal spores (inc. aspergillous),
pollen, insects & pesticide /
insecticide residues present in
tobacco
• Cannabis contains a lot more fungal
spores – up to 10,000 times more
• These higher level of contamination
are thought to be due to poorer
drying / storage procedures
13. Contaminants
• Exposure to fungal spores is also
possible when handling the product
to make a cigarette or joint
• Because cannabis is smoked
differently – inhaled deeply, right to
the very end & held for longer to get
the desired result it causes greater
‘deep’ lung damage
14. Contaminants
• Smoking can cause fungal spores to
be drawn deeply into your lungs &
also prevents your lungs getting rid
of spores – a double whammy!
• Illicit or ‘cheap’ tobacco contains
more chemicals & contaminants
either used as ‘fillers’ (ie grass,
twigs, hay) or to stop mould growth
(ie chloride)
21. Hospital Smoking Policy
• Wythenshawe Hospital operates a
NO SMOKING policy aiming to
improve the health of all patients,
