Cigarette smokers experience greater rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite the known health risks, use of tobacco products remains high throughout the United States (approximately 19.3% of adults). Tobacco use is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular illness, cardiovascular risk factors (ie, hypertension and atherosclerosis), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and various types of cancer. Pharmacologic smoking cessation therapies have been used to facilitate abstinence from smoking. This article provides clinicians with instructions for the use of pharmacologic agents for smoking cessation, including considerations for special populations.
吸烟者的发病率和死亡率更高。尽管已知存在健康风险，但美国各地烟草制品的使用率仍然很高（约19.3%的成年人）。吸烟与心血管疾病、心血管危险因素（如高血压和动脉粥样硬化）、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、肺气肿以及各种类型癌症的较高发病率相关。药物戒烟疗法已被用于促进戒烟。本文为临床医生提供使用戒烟药物的指导，包括对特殊人群的考虑。
