title: Smoking cessation: the case for hospital-based interventions.
abstract: The second paper in our four-part Study series on smoking cessation looks at interventions that nurses can use with smokers in hospital. When admitted with an illness linked to their smoking, smokers may be at a point in life at which they are prepared to consider giving up. Armed with information and specialist training, nurses can help them achieve this goal.
