In this paper we briefly review the dynamics of smoking and nicotine dependence, discuss the evaluation of the addicted smoker, and describe interventions to facilitate the attempt to quit smoking. We also discuss the interface of psychiatric illness and smoking, particularly among those chronically hospitalized in psychiatric institutions, and suggest a rational approach to help patients with psychiatric illness stop smoking.
