TL;DR
Key findings of great relevance to treating tobacco dependence are reviewed: clinical, health system, and community interventions can each independently foster tobacco cessation and a transdisciplinary approach that incorporates all of these components holds the greatest promise for reducing population-based rates of tobacco use.
Abstract
MORE THAN AT ANY TIME IN the past, clinicians, public health professionals, and policy makers now possess sufficient evidence to implement effective tobacco dependence treatment programs and policies. We review key findings of great relevance to treating tobacco dependence: clinical, health system, and community interventions can each independently foster tobacco cessation. A transdisciplinary approach that incorporates all of these components holds the greatest promise for reducing population-based rates of tobacco use. If these interventions are implemented broadly, a larger proportion of the 46 million US adult smokers will try to quit. Among those who do try, the likelihood of successful cessation will increase substantially.

A large and aggressive tobacco-control program is associated with a reduction in deaths from heart disease in the short run, and the diminished effectiveness of the program after 1992 was associated with 8300 more deaths than would be expected had its initial effectiveness been maintained.

259 Citations1999Nicolaas P. Pronk
The authors' data suggest that adverse health risks translate into significantly higher health careCharges within 18 months, and health plans or payers seeking to minimize health care charges may wish to consider strategic investments in interventions that effectively modify adverse health risk factors.
Tobacco ControlImpact of smoking status on workplace absenteeism and productivity
236 Citations2001Michael T. Halpern, Richard Shikiar +2 more
Workplace productivity is increased and absenteeism is decreased among former smokers as compared to current smokers, and subjective measures of productivity provide indications of novel ways of productivity assessment that are sensitive to smoking status.

175 Citations1998Thomas M. Piasecki, Michael C. Fiore +1 more
Patients with "atypical" patterns of smoking withdrawal were more likely to relapse than patients who showed a gradual elimination of withdrawal, and withdrawal shape, duration, and severity all contributed significantly to the prediction of relapse.

Nicotine & Tobacco ResearchThe increasing recalcitrance of smokers in clinical trials
129 Citations2000Thomas H. Brandon Jennifer E. Irvin
The efficacy of clinical trials--with treatment held constant--appears to be declining, and one possible cause is the increasing recalcitrance of those individuals who continue to smoke despite social, regulatory, and medical pressures to quit.

102 Citations2000Lesley Owen
Very large numbers of smokers from diverse backgrounds, including the key groups highlighted in the UK government's recent proposals on tobacco, called the Quitline, which appeared to be very successful in helping these callers to stop smoking, makes Quitline a very promising model for public health intervention programs.

It is imperative that effective smoking cessation strategies be tested and developed in controlled clinical trials, and this effort must be given as high a priority as any other public health initiative between now and the end of this century.
