Abstract:
Health promotion is an interdisciplinary subject which glue together such sciences as medicine, psychology, sociology, social politics and many others. It appears to be the most interesting theme for the pharmacists. One of the most important problem carried in the drug-stores is the fight against the nicotine dependency, which gives the pharmacists a large field to show his knowledge and competence in helping people with the smoking problem. To make the pharmacist-patient cooperation happen, we need to instruct chemists at pre-, and postgradual courses about treating the nicotine addiction. We cannot underestimate the pharmacists' role in the whole fighting nicotine dependency process. Modern pharmacist is fully qualified to give tips or guide patient who get to finish his addiction.
