[Management of smoking cessation in general practice].
Tobacco is a major health problem leading to 20.000 deaths between the ages of 35 and 69 each year in Belgium. This is the reason why all general practitioners should be concerned about this problem and mainly because there is existing evidence that some of their simple professional attitudes accompanying smoking cessation could be effective. This article proposes all valid attitudes adapted for the management of smoking cessation in primary care, not only for adults but also for adolescents.
