A prospective cohort study challenging the effectiveness of population-based medical intervention for smoking cessation

Abstract: This study finds that persons who have quit smoking relapsed at equivalent rates, whether or not they used NRT to help them in their quit attempts. Cessation medication policy should be made in the larger context of public health, and increasing individual treatment coverage should not be at the expense of population evidence-based programmes and policies.

“…However, in the process of controlling variables such as patient cohorts and precise protocols, findings may lose the ability to be generalizable to clinical realities of the real worlds of the ED, ICU, or neonatal ICU. 85 As physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists incorporate the HFNC in their clinical practice, they should be encouraged to conduct research or carefully record their observations as they apply this medical gas interface within the "realities" of their clinical settings and the individual patient's needs.…”

“…Las tasas de abstinencia mas allá de los 12 meses en estudios que utilizan el reemplazo nicotínico se mantienen; no obstante, las recaídas tras 12 meses de cesación no muestran diferencias con el placebo y, en general, se estima que el beneficio neto del reemplazo nicotínico a largo plazo está sobreestimado alrededor de un 30 % (46). Además, el seguimiento de cohortes de población muestra tasas de abstinencia variables, en algunas ocasiones sin diferencia en la recaída entre quienes utilizaron el reemplazo nicotínico y quienes no lo usaron (47,48), y de hecho, con mayores recaídas en fumadores con elevada dependencia frente a quienes no recibieron reemplazo nicotínico. Las cohortes analizadas tienen altas tasas de abandono del tratamiento; aun así, sus datos aportan información sobre el comportamiento de los programas de cesación en el campo de la salud pública.…”

“…Consecuentemente, sus hallazgos generan inquietud frente a la variabilidad en la población incluida en los ensayos clínicos, en donde la presencia de fumadores crónicos o con alta dependencia no ha sido suficientemente clara. Además, se ha revisado el escaso cumplimiento de las indicaciones terapéuticas, que sugieren el uso de reemplazo nicotínico por, al menos, seis semanas y la percepción equivocada sobre la magnitud del efecto para este tratamiento que lleva a desestimular a muchos de los fumadores por no encontrar alivio en corto tiempo o en la intensidad esperada (48)(49)(50).…”

“…Chapman noted in the study by the American Cancer Society conducted in 1986 that the rate of spontaneous smoking cessation was 90% when the smoking cessation treatments were not so common. Discussions on this are still continuing (20)(21)(22). However, the factors that increase the tendency to quit smoking spontaneously are not discussed in these studies.…”
