BACKGROUND/AIM: Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the world. There is growing evidence of the need for community- based programs on smoking cessation. The main purpose of this study is to establish the rate of smoking cessation and restarting in 1 year at the Balçova Smoking Cessation Center.
This is a prospective study with a study group of 359 individuals who quit smoking at the Balçova Smoking Cessation Center for at least 4 weeks between October 2009 and April 2010. The outcomes of the study were 1-year cessation rate and relapse rate. Individuals who reported restarting and/or had CO measurements above 6 ppm were accepted as quitters who had relapsed.
The 1-year rate of smoking cessation was 30.1% for the study group. Of the subjects who quit smoking, 50.1% started smoking again during the 1-year follow-up. Relapse rate was also higher in nicotine addicts. Pharmacological treatment was associated with increased success rates in smoking cessation.
Nicotine dependency was shown to be associated with lower rates of smoking cessation and higher rates of relapse. Therefore, it is important to begin smoking cessation attempts before individuals become serious addicts.
背景/目的：吸烟是世界上可预防的主要死亡原因。越来越多的证据表明，需要开展基于社区的戒烟计划。本研究的主要目的是确定 Balçova 戒烟中心戒烟者在 1 年内的戒烟率和复吸率。
这是一项前瞻性研究，研究组为 359 名个体，他们在 2009 年 10 月至 2010 年 4 月期间在 Balçova 戒烟中心至少戒烟 4 周。该研究的结果为 1 年的戒烟率和复吸率。报告复吸和/或 CO 测量值超过 6 ppm 的个体被视为复吸的戒烟者。
研究组的 1 年戒烟率为 30.1%。在戒烟的受试者中，50.1%在 1 年随访期间再次开始吸烟。尼古丁成瘾者的复吸率也更高。药物治疗与戒烟成功率的提高相关。
尼古丁依赖与较低的戒烟率和较高的复吸率有关。因此，在个体成为严重成瘾者之前开始戒烟尝试很重要。
