Article:Lack Of Progress Found In Reducing Smoking

About 48 million Americans smoked in 1997 according to a survey.The Disease Control and Prevention Centers estimated that 23.9 percent of men and 18.1 percent of women smoked regularly. the overall smoking rate for adults is 20.9 percent.

11

Costs of smokingCosts of smoking

An estimated 430,070 Americans die each year from diseases caused by smoking.

Smoking is responsible for an estimated one in five U.S. deaths and costs the U.S. at least $97.2 billion each year in health care costs and lost productivity.

The respiratory systemThe respiratory system

Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to increase volume of chest.

Resulting loss in pressure causes air to flow in

Air flows in through the – nasal passages– pharynx– larynx– trachea– bronchi and bronchioles

Gas exchangeGas exchange

Occurs in the alveoli alveolus A tiny, thin-walled, capillary-

rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place. In this sense, also called air sac.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseChronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis--diseases that are characterized by obstruction to air flow.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis frequently coexist.

Thus physicians prefer the term COPD Fourth leading cause of death in the

U.S. 96,000 deaths annually

17

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseChronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Approximately 80 to 90 % of COPD cases are caused by smoking; a smoker is 10 times more likely than a nonsmoker to die of COPD.

18

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseChronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Other known causes are frequent lung infections and exposure to certain industrial pollutants.

19

Chronic BronchitisChronic Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation and eventual scarring of the lining of the bronchial tubes.

An estimated 14 million people suffer from chronic bronchitis, the seventh leading chronic condition in America.

20

Chronic BronchitisChronic Bronchitis

Symptoms of chronic bronchitis include:– chronic cough,

increased mucus– frequent clearing

of the throat– shortness of

breath.

21

EmphysemaEmphysema

Emphysema causes irreversible lung damage. The walls between the air sacs within the lungs lose their ability to stretch and recoil. They become weakened and break.

Elasticity of the lung tissue is lost, causing air to be trapped in the air sacs and impairing the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

22

EmphysemaEmphysema

Symptoms of emphysema include cough, shortness of breath and a limited exercise tolerance.

Diagnosis is made by pulmonary function tests, along with the patient's history, examination and other tests.

23

EmphysemaEmphysema

An estimated two million Americans have emphysema. Of the emphysema sufferers, 61 % are male, and 39 % are female.

While more men suffer from the disease than women, the condition is increasing among women.

Between 1982 and 1994 the emphysema prevalence rate in women increased 11 %.

24

CigarettesCigarettes

Cigarettes contain at least 43 distinct cancer-causing chemicals.

Smoking is directly responsible for 87 % of lung cancer cases and causes most cases of emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

25

CigarettesCigarettes

Smoking is also a major factor in coronary heart disease and stroke; may be causally related to malignancies in other parts of the body; and has been linked to a variety of other conditions and disorders, including slowed healing of wounds, infertility, and peptic ulcer disease.

Smokers tend to look older than non-smokers of the same age Smokers' facial skin is more likely than non-smokers to have:

wrinkles, crow's feet and a sallow, yellow-grey colouring Smokers' skin can be prematurely aged by between 10 and 20

Smoking in pregnancySmoking in pregnancy

Smoking in pregnancy accounts for an estimated 20 to 30 % of low-birth weight babies, up to 14 % of preterm deliveries, and some 10 % of all infant deaths.

Even apparently healthy, full-term babies of smokers have been found to be born with narrowed airways and curtailed lung function.

Nicotine is an addictive drug, which reaches the brain faster than drugs that enter the body intravenously. Smokers become not only physically addicted to nicotine.

Smokers also link smoking with many social activities, making smoking a difficult habit to break.

51

In 1994, an estimated 46 million adults were former smokers. Of the current smokers, 33.2 million persons reported they wanted to quit smoking completely.

Movie industryMovie industry

One full-page newspaper ads attacked the movie industry for making smoking glamorous in films.

"We're your best customers. So why are you trying to kill us?”

"Why does the film industry continue to glamorize an addictive habit that often ends in a slow, agonizing death?"

57

That, say those in charge of the ad campaign, is the key. "The aim here is to make rebelling against manipulation as cool as smoking”

Bluntness, not subtlety, appears to be the key to reaching both children and adults. according to a review of broadcast and billboard messages funded by state tobacco taxes published in the March 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "To compete with tobacco industry advertising, anti-tobacco advertisements need to be ambitious, hard-hitting, explicit, and in your face,"

61

No smoking lawsNo smoking laws

California outlawed smoking in restaurants in 1994. The prohibition was extended to bars and gambling establishments four years later. Efforts to repeal it have failed.

In stark contrast to predictions of economic ruin, bars around the state appear to have enjoyed a healthy increase in business during the first year of a controversial smoking ban, fresh sales data show.

62

Researchers in 1997 found that 100% smokefree restaurant and bar ordinances do not adversely impact revenues. Sales tax data, comparing restaurant sales in 15 cities to total retail sales in the same cities, and restaurant sales in 15 comparison cities. The researchers also examined five cities and two counties with smokefree bar ordinances.

In a recent study involving more than 800 Southern California ninth-graders, Pechmann found that showing just one 30-second anti-smoking ad immediately before a film in which cigarettes play a role makes teens immune to images that glamorize smoking.

Tobacco company anti-smoking adsTobacco company anti-smoking ads

New anti-smoking ads from the tobacco companies deserve close scrutiny. In December 1998, the world's largest tobacco company launched a national media campaign to prevent youth smoking.

74

That's the whole point of this campaign - to make not smoking look so uncool that it may motivate kids to smoke.

They want you to reject the ad, because a rejection of any anti-smoking advertisement is the best response expected.

75

Stanford StudyStanford Study

Exposure to the tobacco industry's anti-smoking ads:

(a) does more to encourage than discourage youth smoking (a boomerang effect), and

(b) makes youth resistant to criticism of the tobacco industry (an inoculation effect).

In 1995, an estimated 68.2% of current smokers reported that they wanted to quit smoking completely.

Quit attempts, abstaining from smoking for at least one day during the preceding 12 months, were made by about 45.8% of current every-day smokers.

Of smokers using the self-help approach, about 20% remain tobacco-free for about 1 year.

In the U.S., about 90% of successful quitters have used some form of self-help method either alone or with other methods.

83

Self-helpSelf-help

The most successful self-help materials address the physical, psychological, and social components of nicotine addiction and smoking behavior.

The self-help information contains tips on topics like quitting, diet, exercise, relaxation, and how to stay off cigarettes on a long-term basis.

84

Group HelpGroup Help

Some organizations, like the American Cancer Society, also offer highly structured group support programs so that an individual does not have to face the problem alone. These groups try to aid in the adjustment to a non-smoking lifestyle.

Of smokers participating in group programs, about 33% are successful at 1 year.

NICOTINE GUMNICOTINE GUM

In 1984, the FDA approved nicotine polacrix gum as a prescription drug marketed under the brand name Nicorette.

Nicorette is one of the fastest selling prescription drugs with the majority of requests for the drug being made by patients.

86

NICOTINE GUMNICOTINE GUM

This gum contains nicotine but less than that in cigarettes (about 2mg per stick instead of the 6-8mg in a single cigarette).

The nicotine is slowly released when chewed (90% of the nicotine is released in 20-30 minutes).

87

NICOTINE GUMNICOTINE GUM

Used properly, this gum helps the nicotine addict to slowly wean themselves from cigarettes by first substituting the gum and then chewing less and less of the gum.

88

NICOTINE GUMNICOTINE GUM

Most patients are advised to use the gum for 3-6 months.

Side effects of the gum may include: nausea, dizziness, or overdoses.

Studies have suggested that the gum is effective in decreasing the amount of symptoms experienced with the withdrawal syndrome.

89

Nicotine gumNicotine gum

There have been reports that use of the gum with behavioral treatments has provided success at 1 year in up to 37%.

Without counseling and a physician's instructions, success is low.

90

Nicotine PatchesNicotine Patches

In the early 1990's, the FDA approved the use of nicotine patches as prescription drugs. These have been marketed under the brand names Habitrol and Nicoderm.

Nicotine patches are put on the skin (transdermal) and deliver nicotine in lower amounts than those present in cigarettes.

91

Anti-DepressantsAnti-Depressants

Several anti-depressant drugs have been studied for their potential use in smoking cessation.

Recent studies of bupropion (a serotonin uptake inhibitor) have shown that this drug may be useful in heavily addicted smokers when used in combination with behavioral methods of quitting.

92

Anti-DepressantsAnti-Depressants

There appears to be an increased quit rate and a decreased relapse rate with bupropion as compared to control subjects.

It is thought that bupropion may work by decreasing the withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine addiction.

Tobacco Cessation GuidelineTobacco Cessation Guideline

Office of the Surgeon General– http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/tobacco/

95

Tobacco dependence is a chronic condition that often requires repeated intervention.

However, effective treatments exist that can produce long-term or even permanent abstinence.

96

Because effective tobacco dependence treatments are available, every patient who uses tobacco should be offered at least one of these treatments.– Patients willing to try to quit tobacco use should be

provided treatments identified as effective in this guideline.

– Patients unwilling to try to quit tobacco use should be provided a brief intervention designed to increase their motivation to quit.

97

There is a strong dose-response relation between the intensity of tobacco dependence counseling and its effectiveness.

Treatments involving person-to-person contact (via individual, group, or proactive telephone counseling) are consistently effective, and their effectiveness increases with treatment intensity (e.g., minutes of contact).

98

Smoking CessationSmoking Cessation

Three types of counseling and behavioral therapies were found to be especially effective and should be used with all patients attempting tobacco cessation: –  Provision of practical counseling (problem

solving/skills training). – Provision of social support as part of treatment

(intra-treatment social support). – Help in securing social support outside of

treatment (extra-treatment social support).

99

Medication and tobacco useMedication and tobacco use

Numerous effective pharmacotherapies for smoking cessation now exist. Except in the presence of contraindications, these should be used with all patients attempting to quit smoking.

100

Five first-line pharmacotherapies were identified that reliably increase long-term smoking abstinence rates: – Bupropion SR. – Nicotine gum. – Nicotine inhaler. – Nicotine nasal spray. – Nicotine patch.

101

Tobacco dependence treatments are both clinically effective and cost-effective relative to other medical and disease prevention interventions. Therefore, insurers and purchasers should ensure that:

102

InsuranceInsurance

All insurance plans include as a reimbursed benefit the counseling and pharmacotherapeutic treatments identified as effective in this guideline.

Clinicians are reimbursed for providing tobacco dependence treatment just as they are reimbursed for treating other chronic conditions.

103

Quitting smoking is the most positive and healthy lifestyle change you can make to improve your overall health and well-being. The moment you stop smoking is the start of an amazing and magical healing process that takes place within your body.
