Abstract
  • Introduction Tobacco smoking is a significant public health concern. It is estimated that more than 40,000 deaths and $6.5 billion in direct health care costs are attributable to tobacco smoking in Canada each year. Individuals who smoke tobacco or who are exposed to second-hand smoke are at increased risk of respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer. It is well known that quitting smoking can improve immediate and long-term health, yet nicotine dependence is a significant barrier to smoking cessation. Multimodal approaches that include medication and counselling services promote successful smoking cessation.
