Abstract:
The prevalence of smoking and the associated health risk are especially high in psychiatric patients. Smoking prevention has, however, been neglected until now in psychiatry. Nicotine withdrawal may be associated with some difficulties in psychiatric patients. Existing programs for the prevention and treatment of tobacco dependence do not take into account these special problems.
