    Background:

    • Inhaled smoke, nicotine, and carbon monoxide are linked to increased coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence, progression, and mortality.
    • Smoking is a complex habit influenced by both pharmacological and psychosocial factors, making cessation difficult.
    • Hospitalized smokers represent a key population for intervention due to their temporary abstinence and perceived credibility of healthcare professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • The abstract suggests a counseling approach by nurses for hospitalized smokers.
    • It advocates for the inclusion of family members in the cessation process.
    • It recommends follow-up interventions, such as one-to-one sessions or smoking clinics.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses are identified as ideal health professionals to counsel hospitalized smokers due to proximity and credibility.
    • Sustaining cessation after the initial relearning phase is identified as the primary challenge.
    • Family support and consistent follow-up are presented as essential components for successful long-term smoking cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses play a vital role in initiating smoking cessation and should be equipped to counsel patients effectively.
    • Comprehensive cessation strategies must incorporate psychosocial support, family involvement, and ongoing follow-up.
    • Public health initiatives and advocacy by nurses are important for maintaining optimal smoking health standards.
