Title

Smoking Cessation: Increasing Practice Understanding And Time-Limited Intervention Strategy

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore nicotine-addiction and smoking-cessation interventions while stressing the importance that physiological and psychological addiction can have on smoking cessation. In designing this time-limited smoking-cessation plan, the benefits of pharmacotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and social support are explored. Previous research is applied to current practice strategy that involves a multi-/interdisciplinary team perspective. To facilitate the intervention process, a combination intervention regimen that uses nicotine-replacement therapy, the possible use of antidepressant medications, and cognitive-behavioral therapy and social support is suggested. Recommendations are made for constructing this brief time-limited model for smoking cessation.
