Nicotine dependence: health consequences, smoking cessation therapies, and pharmacotherapy

Samuel N Grief. Prim Care. 2011 Mar.

Abstract

Nicotine dependence is a significant addiction with many health consequences. Consistent attempts and efforts at addressing this condition, guiding and advising afflicted patients using motivational techniques and the 5-A stepwise strategies, and instituting appropriate therapies will result in better health outcomes and less incidence of diseases. In pharmacotherapy, Nicotine replacement therapy and oral medications can be used alone or in combination with varying degrees of success.
