Abstract
estimate a 23.1% quit rate from repeatedannual screening and brief intervention for tobaccousers. Extended over the lifetimes of smokers, theintervention would save 2.47 million quality-adjustedlife years at a cost savings of $500 per smoker andbillions of dollars for the nation.The NCPP updates its previous 2001 effort to rankthe relative effectiveness of clinical preventive servicesrecommended by the U.S. Preventive Services TaskForce.

Ways to counter clinicians' pessimism about cessation include the knowledge that most smokers require multiple quit attempts before they succeed, that rigorous studies show long-term quit rates of 14% to 20%, that cessation rates for users of telephone quit lines and integrated health care systems are comparable with those of individual clinicians, and that no other clinical intervention can offer such a large potential benefit.
