“…Smokers in this phase were less likely to seek help from any quit smoking facilities. This finding is consistent with lower participation rate in younger smokers in smoking cessation programs held in local clinics (Kim et al, 2013), making them the neglected group of smokers for any smoking cessation intervention. Hence it is important to bring the intervention to workplace rather than waiting passively for the smokers to come to clinics.…”

“…Other studies from various parts of the world (Pierterse et al, 2001;Hilberink et al, 2005;Jayakrishnan et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2013) had showed better outcome with more counseling sessions, either in the form of telephone consultation, face-to-face interview, or group counseling. From the feedback of the participants in this study, similar brief counseling sessions either in the form of telephone consultation or face-to-face interviews were preferred because of the limited time off they get during working hours (limited to 15min in the morning, 45min lunch break, and another 15min at tea break).…”

Background: Brief physician counselling has been shown to be effective in improving smokers' behaviour. If the counselling sessions can be given at the workplace, this would benefit a larger number of smokers. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a ten-minute physician counseling session at the workplace in improving smoking behaviour. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomised control trial was conducted on smokers in a factory. A total of 163 participants were recruited and randomised into control and intervention groups using a table of random numbers. The intervention group received a ten-minute brief physician counselling session to quit smoking. Stages of smoking behaviour were measured in both groups using a translated and validated questionnaire at baseline, one month and three months post intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in smoking behaviour at one-month post intervention (p=0.024, intention to treat analysis; OR=2.525; CI=1.109-5.747). This was not significant at three-month post intervention (p=0.946, intention to treat analysis; OR=1.026; 95% CI=0.486-2.168). Conclusions: A session of brief physician counselling was effective in improving smokers' behaviour at workplace, but the effect was not sustained.

“…Of the 12 articles, four have sample sizes of less than 30 [29][30][31][32], while two do not present the intervention results for the age group [33,34]. Of the remaining six, five focus on NRT [23,[35][36][37][38], with one that offers patients either NRT or bupropion [39].…”

Pharmacological Smoking Cessation Therapies in Older Adults: A Review of the Evidence

2015

Nearly 12% of adults 65 years and over in Europe and 9% in the USA are current cigarette smokers. Numerous studies have demonstrated tangible benefits of smoking cessation, regardless of advanced age. However, it is unclear which pharmacotherapy strategies are most effective in the elderly population. To that end, the literature on smoking cessation in older adults was reviewed with the aim of identifying the safest and most effective cessation pharmacotherapies. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for all articles pertaining to elderly smoking cessation strategies. Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies were included. Studies were included without regard to population or intervention, as long as results were analyzed with a group of smokers aged 60 years and above and at least one arm of the study involved a pharmacotherapy. Only 12 studies were identified that met our inclusion criteria. The limited existing literature does not allow for a definitive answer to the most effective pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in older adult smokers. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is the pharmacotherapy most studied in older adults, and the limited evidence that exists suggests that NRT is effective for smoking cessation among this population. Higher-quality studies that directly compare cessation strategies, including bupropion and varenicline, are needed in the older population in order to guide treatment decision making.

“…In order to stimulate and aid smokers to quit, many different smoking cessation interventions have been developed and tested in different countries, such as face to face counselling of the person by a qualified health education professional, self-help materials, mass-media campaigns (Lancaster et al, 2000;Lancaster and Stead, 2005;van Keulen et al, 2011;Jayakrishnan et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2013;Paek et al, 2014;US Department of Health, 2014).…”

The objective of this paper is to present the implementation and process evaluation of the first computer tailored program for smoking cessation among Romanian smokers. The program targeted adult smokers who declared the intention to quit smoking in the next six months. The intervention consisted of a letter tailored to several respondent characteristics: gender, cognitive variables (attitude, social influence, and self-efficacy), intention to quit smoking, goal and relapse prevention strategies (action and coping plans), and smoking behaviour. The first 80 participants entered into the program filled in a process evaluation questionnaire one month after the intervention. The results of our study confirmed that the participants had read and remembered the letter. Moreover, new for Romania, this approach was positively appreciated by the participant and the score received for the tailored letter was high. The opinions of the participants confirmed that the tailored letter provided information that was useful, trustworthy and relevant for the individual. At the same time, the participants appreciated the polite, easy to understand content of the letter. These data underlined the premises for continuing the program and for using the information and communication technologies for healthy lifestyle promotion among Romanian population.
