摘要

THE "PRO" SIDE: Smoking is a dangerous lifestyle choice that results in increased risk of premature death or serious morbidities, such as cancer and coronary heart disease for the smoker and adverse health outcomes for the unborn children of pregnant women who smoke. Passive smoking also has serious health implications for both children and adults. The corollary of this situation is that smoking cessation is one of the most important, effective, and efficient health care interventions that can be undertaken. Within a year of quitting smoking, a former smokers chance of developing heart disease drops to half that of a continuing smoker. Between 5 and 15 years after quitting, the chance of lung cancer decreases by almost half, and the risk of dying from cancer becomes similar to that of a nonsmoker. However, smoking is a particularly addictive behaviour, and stopping is not easy. While it is possible to stop smoking with just a behavioural intervention, the introduction of complementary pharmacological treatments, such as nicotine replacement therapy and varenicline, has increased rates of smoking cessation. The pharmacy profession has played its part by providing behavioural support and supplying therapies. Societal recognition of the dangers of smoking and support for a smoke-free environment have also contributed to the overall reduction of smoking prevalence in the Western world. For example, in Canada the prevalence of smoking has declined from about 26% in 2001 to 20% in 2011 and to 13% in 2015.
