TL;DR
In comparison with the cost-effectiveness of other medical services, the cost of $6,828 per net year of life gained by treatment of nicotine dependence is relatively inexpensive.
Abstract
In comparison with the cost-effectiveness of other medical services, the cost of $6,828 per net year of life gained by treatment of nicotine dependence is relatively inexpensive. Such cost-outcome data are important as economic considerations are applied for optimal allocation of limited health-care resources. Nonphysician health-care professionals can assume a key role in the provision of cost-effective nicotine dependence intervention.
