Majority of tobacco users go through
periods of remissions and relapses
Health professionals lack of knowledge of the chronic nature of the problem may affect their motivation to treat smokers.
There
is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL in treating tobacco dependence. Several
options must be
considered.
Health professionals must not identify success as the permanent abstinence; relapses must be accepted.
Counseling works with diabetic, hypertensive patients and it works too with smokers. |
