Throughout the 1990's tobacco use has continued to expand in the developing world, and patterns of use have begun to shift in developed countries. During this same period, our knowledge of effective tobacco cessation methods has dramatically increased. In this paper, we review global trends in tobacco use, and current strategies for tobacco cessation. Evolving work in genetics, pharmacology, counseling, cessation aides, training, systems approaches, and regulation all have the potential to deliver more effective interventions to more tobacco users. Reducing the worldwide tobacco burden will require complementary efforts to reduce initiation and promote cessation. Until effective tobacco cessation methods are widely disseminated and readily available, the tobacco death toll will continue to rise.
在整个20世纪90年代，烟草使用在发展中国家持续扩大，而在发达国家，使用模式已开始转变。在同一时期，我们对有效的戒烟方法的了解大幅增加。在本文中，我们回顾了全球烟草使用趋势以及当前的戒烟策略。遗传学、药理学、咨询、戒烟辅助工具、培训、系统方法和监管等方面不断发展的工作，都有可能为更多烟草使用者提供更有效的干预措施。减轻全球烟草负担将需要采取互补措施以减少开始吸烟的人数并促进戒烟。在有效的戒烟方法得到广泛传播且易于获取之前，烟草导致的死亡人数将继续上升。
