Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death and disability in the United States today. In 2003, the Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health recommended to establish a federally funded national tobacco quitline network by 2005. Quitlines are telephone-based programs that assist tobacco users to quit. The combination of health professionals referring patients to an accessible, evidence-based, cost-effective cessation resource can produce a substantial reduction in the number of tobacco users in the United States. Initiatives to increase knowledge and working relationships between nurses and quitlines need to be created, implemented, and evaluated.
吸烟是当今美国导致死亡和残疾的首要可预防原因。2003 年，机构间烟草与健康委员会建议在 2005 年前建立一个由联邦政府资助的全国性烟草戒烟热线网络。戒烟热线是一种基于电话的项目，旨在帮助吸烟者戒烟。将健康专业人员将患者转介到可获得的、基于证据的、具有成本效益的戒烟资源的做法，可以显著减少美国的烟草使用者人数。需要制定、实施和评估旨在提高护士和戒烟热线之间的知识和工作关系的倡议。
