Persons with serious mental illness (SMI) are faced with substantial challenges to their health. This population is two to three times more likely to smoke cigarettes than persons who do not suffer from mental illness. In particular, young adults are at high risk for vulnerability to both SMI and cigarette smoking. Although there are proven methods for smoking cessation, both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions show limited usefulness for SMI who smoke. Alternative health care options as well as support groups and physical exercise are discussed as methods that may be useful in smoking cessation. Finally, integration of smoking cessation programming into existing mental health treatment services may offer the greatest opportunity for client success.
患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的人在健康方面面临着巨大挑战。这一人群吸烟的可能性是没有精神疾病的人的两到三倍。特别是，年轻人极易同时患上严重精神疾病和吸烟成瘾。尽管有经过验证的戒烟方法，但药物和非药物干预措施对吸烟的严重精神疾病患者效果有限。文中讨论了替代医疗保健选择以及支持小组和体育锻炼等可能有助于戒烟的方法。最后，将戒烟计划纳入现有的心理健康治疗服务中可能为患者成功戒烟提供最大机会。
