ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of physician guidance on cigarette cessation in current smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Cigarette cessation education and routine telephone follow-up was provided for 70 COPD patients.Pulmonary function and exhaled carbon monoxide level were detected every 3 months.Results After 6 months' follow-up,28 participants(40.00%) successfully quitted cigarette smoking.Seventeen subjects (24.28%) experienced relapse,with mean cessation time(3.08±0.33) months.Once receiving physician guidance,5 re-attempted to quit cigarette smoking,and 12 reduced tobacco consumption. Sixteen subjects(22.86%) did not quit smoking,although the mean cigarette consumption per day was decreased by 60%.Nine participants (12.86%) showed no change in smoking habit. Conclusion Physician guidance could impreve the rate of cigarette cessation in COPD patients.Intensive intervention may be correlated with successful smoking cessation.
