Since even a little help from healthcare professionals provided to smokers in the form of a clear-cut and resolute interventions may help increase a rather low rate of smokers' successful attempts to quit smoking, the pharmacists, who are on a daily basis in a close contact with the patients-smokers, have a very good position to assume an important role in enforcing the anti-smoking activities, both in the form of their active approach to such patients and the provision of counselling to support smoking cessation. Our questionnaire was designed to assess the interest of smokers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in quitting smoking and the interest of those who intend to give up their bad habit in smoking cessation counselling provided in community pharmacies as well as their potential willingness to pay for this service. The survey has shown that almost 80% of smokers want to quit smoking. Of those, some 42% are interested in smoking cessation counselling provided in community pharmacies, while around 37% are yet undecided as to whether they would use such services. Nearly 91% of potential clients of smoking cessation counselling service expressed willingness to pay for it, 40% of them said they would be willing to pay more then 100 Czech/Slovak crowns (around 3 EUR) for the service. Smoking cessation counselling in community pharmacies could become another effective tool to help cut down the number of smokers and also improve the prestige of pharmaceutical profession as such. The great interest of smokers in quitting smoking and in smoking cessation counselling provided in community pharmacies supports our effort to establish the service as a common service of pharmaceutical care in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
鉴于即使医疗保健专业人员以明确果断的干预形式为吸烟者提供一点帮助，也可能有助于提高吸烟者较低的成功戒烟率，那么每天都与吸烟患者密切接触的药剂师，在开展反吸烟活动中处于非常有利的地位，他们既可以积极主动地接触这类患者，又能提供支持戒烟的咨询服务。我们设计了这份调查问卷，旨在评估捷克共和国和斯洛伐克吸烟者的戒烟意愿，以及那些打算戒除吸烟恶习的人对社区药房提供的戒烟咨询服务的兴趣，还有他们为此项服务付费的潜在意愿。调查显示，近80%的吸烟者想要戒烟。其中，约42%的人对社区药房提供的戒烟咨询服务感兴趣，而约37%的人尚未决定是否会使用此类服务。近91%的戒烟咨询服务潜在客户表示愿意为此付费，其中40%的人表示愿意为此支付超过100捷克/斯洛伐克克朗（约合3欧元）。社区药房的戒烟咨询服务可能会成为另一种有效手段，有助于减少吸烟者数量，同时提升药学专业的声誉。吸烟者对戒烟以及社区药房提供的戒烟咨询服务的浓厚兴趣，支持了我们在捷克共和国和斯洛伐克将该服务确立为药学服务一项常规服务的努力。
