title: [Smoking cessation with special focus on primary health care].
abstract: This review gives a presentation of current smoking cessation interventions, based on data collected from The Cochrane Library and randomized trials found in the PubMed database 1999-2007. The review investigates the effect of smoking cessation interventions in healthy and sick patients and the use of such interventions in daily practice. Individual counselling, group therapy, self-help materials and proactive telephone counselling all have a proven significant effect, as has nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, nortryptyline, clonidine and vareniclin. Other interventions are without demonstrated effectiveness.
