[The role of the nurse in supporting smoking cessation]. / Le rôle de l'infirmière dans l'aide au sevrage tabagique.

A study was carried out in May 2014 of the first 100 patients who came to seek help to stop smoking in 2013 with the first contact led by a nurse. A mail-questionnaire was sent to this group of patients to evaluate their smoking status and the nurse's first contact organization. Among 34% respondents, 40% had not smoked for at least eight months. Three quarters had found this nursing support useful highlighting the added value of a nurse in supporting first contact in the smoking cessation process.
