Objective:
To evaluate the results of a tobacco dependency clinic after 41 months functioning.
Design:
A descriptive and retrospective study.
Setting:
The tobacco dependency clinic of the Primary Care team at Sant Just Desvern.
Participants:
134 smokers who asked for an interview with the nurse in charge of the clinic were attended.
Measurements And Main Results:
47.01% wanted to stop smoking: 66.42% anticipated difficulties in achieving this. Treatment was counter-indicated in 17.16% of the smokers. 57 people (42.54%) stopped smoking of whom 26 then restarted. 35 smokers (26.12%) cut down and 17 (12.69%) changed their attitude.
Conclusions:
The clinic fulfilled its initial objective, but we must move towards a strategy of systematic intervention on all smokers within the general clinics.
