Interventions for Smoking Cessation and Treatments for Nicotine Dependence
There are now more former cigarette smokers than current smokers in the United States (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS] 2014). For more than a decade, national surveillance data on smoking cessation have revealed a similar pattern, with modest improvement—two-thirds of adult cigarette smokers indicate a desire to quit, and just over half try to quit each year;
however, less than 10% of smokers who try to quit succeed in quitting for 6 months or longer (Babb et al. 2017).
