Abstract:
The first version of The Clinical Guideline for Smoking Cessation in China was issued in 2007,which indicated that smoking cessation was considered to be a specialty and an academic field for physicians.Firstly,the Guideline described the epidemiology of cigarette smoking in China,a prevalence of 35.8% in a population 15 years and older by a nation-wide survey in 2002.The Guideline emphasized that tobacco dependence was a chronic and highly recurrent disease,which needed long-term treatment.Detailed intervention measures were provided for clinical practice.
