Smoking is the largest avoidable cause of preventable morbidity worldwide. It causes most of the cases of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and contributes to the development of other lung diseases. SmokeFreeBrain aims to address the effectiveness of a multi-level variety of interventions aiming at smoking cessation in high risk target groups within High Middle Income Countries (HMIC) such as unemployed young adults, COPD and asthma patients, and within the general population in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC). The project addresses existing approaches aimed to prevent lung diseases caused by tobacco while developing new treatments and evaluating: (i) Public Service Announcement (PSA) against smoking, (ii) the use of electronic cigarettes, (iii) neurofeedback protocols against smoking addiction, (iv) a specifically developed intervention protocol based on behavioral therapy, social media/mobile apps and short text messages (sms) and (v) pharmacologic interventions. Emphasis in this paper, however, is placed on the e-heath, m-health, open (big) data, mobile game and neuroscientific challenges and developments upon facilitating the aforementioned interventions.
吸烟是全球可避免的、导致可预防发病的最大原因。它引发了大多数肺癌和慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）病例，并促使其他肺部疾病的发展。无烟大脑项目旨在探讨针对高中等收入国家（HMIC）高危目标群体（如失业青年、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和哮喘患者）以及低中等收入国家（LMIC）普通人群戒烟的多层次干预措施的有效性。该项目在开发新疗法并进行评估的同时，探讨旨在预防烟草所致肺部疾病的现有方法：（i）反对吸烟的公益广告（PSA），（ii）电子烟的使用，（iii）针对吸烟成瘾的神经反馈方案，（iv）基于行为疗法、社交媒体/移动应用程序和短信（sms）专门开发的干预方案，以及（v）药物干预。然而，本文重点关注在促进上述干预措施方面的电子健康、移动健康、开放（大）数据、手机游戏和神经科学挑战与发展。
