title: [Simple therapeutic options in counteracting tobacco smoking].
abstract: Smoking tobacco still remains one of the basic health and social-economic issues, both in Poland and around the world. Popularity of smoking, dissemination of this habit, and continually high levels of its social acceptance make physicians feel helpless, and often relieved from the obligation of counteracting the phenomenon. Nonetheless, there are some interesting possibilities of pharmacological assistance using nicotine substitution therapy, not to mention a number of drugs that facilitate quitting smoking. Additionally, a pattern of psychological assistance or intervention actions has been developed which has proved to be extremely successful within a truly short time span, called minimum (anti-nicotine) intervention. The goal of this article is to popularise those methods and invite physicians to become familiar with the new ideas, in view of their future application to working with the patient.
