Helping patients with Crohn's disease to stop smoking.
Evidence shows that Crohn's disease in cigarette smokers runs a more aggressive course. Two nurses worked in collaboration to identify smokers with Crohn's disease in order to offer pharmacological and psychological support in quitting the habit. This paper provides the results of a pilot study on a smoking-cessation course targeted specifically at such patients.
