What is Smoking Cessation?
Smoking cessation is the process of discontinuing the practice of inhaling a smoked substance. This article focuses exclusively on cessation of tobacco smoking; however, the methods described may apply to cessation of smoking other substances that can be difficult to stop using due to the development of strong physical substance dependence or psychological dependence.
Smoking cessation can occur with or without assistance from health care professionals or the use of medications. Methods that have been found to be effective include interventions aimed at health care providers and health care systems; medications including nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and varenicline; individual and group counseling; and Web-based and computer programs. Although stopping smoking can cause side effects such as weight gain, smoking cessation programs are cost-effective because of the positive health benefits.
