Most people are aware of the risks of smoking in relation to lung cancer, heart disease and pregnancy but ignorant of its many other dangers. Smoking – what all healthcare professionals need to know is based on many years of detailed research. It presents substantial evidence that smoking actually affects every organ system in the body and is instrumental in many diseases. This book will enable a wide range of healthcare professionals (including general practitioners, nurses, surgeons, psychiatrists, dentists, physiotherapists, urologists, gastroenterologists, audiologists, ophthalmologists and dermatologists) to provide helpful, accurate advice and feedback to reduce smoking among their patients. Preventative medicine is an increasing priority today, and programmes to reduce smoking (whether at the national level or aimed at the individual) have been shown to be effective – both in terms of improving patient outcomes and reducing health service expenditure. This book should therefore be required reading for all healthcare professionals.

There are one billion smokers on the planet today and up to half will die from their habit. According to the World Health Organization, approximately one person dies every six seconds from tobacco use. Despite the negative effects of smoking, the healthcare profession is not entirely smoke-free; an issue which must be addressed as this group is on the frontlines of tobacco control. This book presents the findings of more than 360 surveys of smoking among doctors, dentists and nurses, as well as students in these fields. Much can be learned from the data; the most important being a comprehensive understanding of how many healthcare professionals smoke, in what country, and at what stage in their career. The gathering of such data is the focus of this book.

Tobacco smoking is considered the big killer and one of the most avoidable risk factors for many human pathologies. Reducing and controlling tobacco smoking should be a primary aim for a certain population, in order to reduce harms to health caused by this important risk factor, and it seems urgent to adopt intervention tools involved in responsibility fields such as health care, education, politics, economy and media. Among health professionals the prevalence of tobacco smoke is extremely high, more than other professional categories, and this could be partly attributed to a low weight that tobacco smoking has in the medical curriculum of future physicians, that will contribute in a determinant way to healthy choices of their patients. In order to realise that, the medical students need to be adequately trained with the aim of acquire competences and skills that help patients to prevent tobacco smoking and to increase smoking cessation, through a programme oriented to specific issue related to the potential harm of tobacco products. A survey conducted by Ferry et al. in the American Schools of Medicine underlined the lack of courses related to tobacco smoking. Moreover, a randomised trial carried out by Cummings et al., the Schools of Medicine result as the ideal setting to teach smoking cessation techniques to health professionals. The National Cancer Institute in 1992 recommended that primary and secondary prevention interventions on tobacco smoking will become mandatory in the curriculum of Medical USA students. However, until now this recommendation still is far from being fully implemented. The aim of the book is to give an overview on the epidemiology of tobacco smoking among different settings and populations, but with a special focus on health professionals and medicals students, and to show available examples of smoking prevention and cessation training in different settings.

This book is focused on Quit Smoking. Several members of my family were addicted to Tabacco products and there was not much I could do to assist them with quitting. I know many smokers and see many folks in the parking lot with cigarettes. This book is my way of contributing to humanity's happiness by assisting you in quitting smoking and encouraging you to assist your friends and family to live a Tabacco free lifestyle. "Every day, in every way, I am becoming healthier and more free from smoking. My lungs are healing, and I am regaining control of my life. I am strong, and I have the power to overcome any craving. I choose to breathe clean, fresh air and live a smoke-free life. I am committed to my well-being, and I am proud of the progress I am making. With each passing day, I am leaving smoking behind and embracing a healthier future." "Every day, I am getting healthier and stronger as I let go of smoking. My body and mind deserve to be free from this habit, and I am committed to my well-being. I am in control of my choices, and I choose a smoke-free life. I am capable of overcoming challenges, and with each passing day, I am moving further away from smoking. I am creating a positive and vibrant future for myself. I am proud of my progress and my determination to quit smoking." "Every day, I am getting healthier and stronger as a non-smoker. My body is healing, and I am regaining control over my life. I am free from the grip of cigarettes, and I am embracing a future full of vitality and well-being. I am proud of my decision to quit smoking, and I am committed to nurturing my body and mind with positive habits. With each breath, I am moving further away from smoking and closer to a life of positivity and fulfillment." The journey towards a smoke-free future is a complex and multifaceted endeavor that requires the concerted efforts of governments, industries, healthcare professionals, and society at large. While challenges persist, the potential benefits in terms of improved public health, economic gains, and redefined societal norms are immense. Striking the right balance between harm reduction, regulation, and addressing nicotine dependency will be critical in realizing this vision. As the world evolves, embracing a smoke-free future is not just a choice, but a necessity for the health and well-being of current and future generations.
