  • Title: [Smoking cessation].
    Author: Azzabi S, Aouina H, Baccar MA, Khirouni S, el Gharbi L, Bouacha H.
    Journal: Tunis Med; 2002 Apr; 80(4):172-7. PubMed ID: 12416350.
    Abstract:
    We estimate that more than 80% of tobacco-smokers hope that they will stop smoking one day. The major obstacle is the psychologic and pharmacologic dependence generated by the cigarette. Different weaning methods have been tried, but their rate of success remains low. The nicotinic sustitution by transdermic track (patch) will give good results providing it is prescribed within the framework of a medical help to wean away from smoking tobacco.
