Nurses' role in promoting and supporting smoking cessation

Ben Youdan et al. Nurs Times. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Smoking is one of the biggest threats to public health, costing more than 120,000 lives per year in the UK alone (Peto et al, 2004). Helping smokers give up is one of the most effective health interventions and nurses are in a unique position to fill that role.
