Smoking cessation
"Tobacco is directly related to diseases such as COPD, heart disease and lung cancer".
DR. ANA BELÉN ALCAIDE OCAÑA SPECIALIST. PNEUMOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Although 70% of smokers want to quit for good, most are not ready. They do, however, express the intention to try to quit in the medium or long term.
There are currently very effective drugs to help smokers quit. The treatments must be personalized for each smoker depending mainly on motivation and the degree of physical and psychological addiction.
In the Clinic there is a Tobacco Smoking Cessation Program, which seeks to facilitate smokers to quit successfully, through medical follow-up and continued professional support.
Information is also provided on the risks of smoking, and the degrees of addiction and motivation are studied.
