Tobacco
accepted. The last reason is the excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. In Massachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18 years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow their underage teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes and sneak away to smoke without being caught.
Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care of themselves and their families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroin addictions. Some may be in bad marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse. All these people may smoke to feel relaxed or to give them energy while going through a hard time.

Whether young or old, some people smoke to control their weight. Smokers, on the average, weigh seven pounds less than non-smokers. Smoking reduces a person’s appetite. It lessens his/her sense of taste and smell. This could be why ex-smokers gain weight after quitting cigarettes. Food tastes and smells so much better. Finally, there are people who say they love to smoke. Smoking gives them pleasure. It just makes them feel good.
Barriers to Assisting Smokers
The overall prevalence rate of smoking among the Romanian population aged over 15 years is approximately 27%, with a higher prevalence among men. According
240
to the World Health Organization (WHO), 77% of all deaths in Romania in 2008 were caused by diseases for which tobacco smoking is the main risk factor. Smoking cessation prevents and slows down the progression of major diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, cancer and diabetes. Family physicians (FPs) are uniquely placed to intervene with patients who use tobacco and support cessation. However, studies show that smokers who visit their primary care physician for reasons other than smoking are rarely offered assistance to quit or even the minimum intervention of ‘brief advice.
Until recently, smoking cessation support services was not available in Romania. In 2005, after the WHO Framework Convention was ratified, specific legislation began to be adopted. In 2007, the Ministry of Health initiated the National Programme against Tobacco Consumption, which included the Stop Smoking support programme. This offered free training to any doctor interested in providing smoking cessation support for their patients and financial incentives to become part of a national network of centres where smokers could be offered free counseling and medication. However, few FPs engaged with, or referred patients to, the programme: e.g., the main author (CP) was the only FP involved in the programme over a 2-year period. The reasons why FPs did not utilize this programme are unclear.

Several studies describe the professional behaviour of Romanian FPs towards smokers and highlight the lack of engagement in smoking cessation activities. In one study, more than 70% of FPs knew about smoking cessation, but less than half applied
Tobacco
this knowledge in their own practices Interventions tended to be limited to brief advice for patients with a diagnosed concomitant chronic disease, and few FPs referred patients to smoking cessation specialists.

Practice setting
While motivation and confidence to quit are important, one of the major barriers to clinician effectiveness is the failure to identify most smokers in a practice or clinical setting or to offer advice to those interested in quitting.
Patients
Around two thirds of smokers are interested in quitting, and half try to quit each year. Despite the difficulty of quitting, 50% of people who have ever smoked eventually successfully quit smoking. The success rate of those who use some form of assistance is double that of those who try to quit on their own.
Smoking Cessation Guidelines
Various tools can be used by health care professionals in attempting to help smokers quit:
Th e Five ‘A’s
CREATE (see below)
Decision Balance Worksheet
242
These tools should be used in the context of the concepts and techniques are:
Prochaska and DiClemente’s Model of Change
the principles of a patient-centred approach
techniques of motivational interviewing and brief intervention
Illustrated Handbook of Drugs & Alcohol Related Health Issues
The Five ‘A’s
The Five ‘A’s, developed by the US Department of Health and Human Services and widely adopted is an evidence-based, rigorously evaluated framework for smoking cessation in health care settings.
The Five ‘A’s stand for:
Ask
Assess
Advise
Assist
Arrange
The main components of the Five ‘A’s framework are described in Appendix H. For each component there are brief, moderate and intensive strategies.
Brief strategies should take between 1–3 minutes. If time is very limited and it is likely that the smoker could be seen again soon, spend the time available highlighting the value of quitting; alternatively give the smoker a Quit line card.
Create
Create is an acronym representing a tool which can assist health care professionals
to identify smoking status in all patients and provide assistance to those who are interested in quitting.
Decision Balance Worksheet
Not all smokers wish to quit. The model of change is a useful framework to understand the process involved in changing health related behaviour.
The Decision Balance Worksheet is a simple tool which assists the smoker to assess their readiness to change. The health professional can help the smoker to complete a decision balance, by working through the smoker’s own thoughts, beliefs and feelings.
Pharmacotherapies
It is important to undertake a holistic approach to smoking cessation, so that pharmacotherapy is not considered as a standalone treatment. Relapse prevention
Tobacco
incorporates a range of psychosocial strategies which may include pharmacotherapies. Pharmacotherapies to assist with smoking cessation include:
nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
other drugs such as bupropion, clonidine and nortriptyline
Pharmacotherapies can minimize withdrawal symptoms and double the likelihood of the smoker successfully quitting. Pharmacotherapy should be considered for all smokers who have evidence of nicotine dependence.
243
Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs)
NRTs help the smoker to minimize the effects of nicotine withdrawal. They are available without prescription from pharmacies. A number of smokers have tried these agents; however many have had insufficient instruction and assistance to use them effectively
Choice of agent depends upon:
patient preference
pattern of any previous withdrawal symptoms
combinations of agents may be necessary if patients are experiencing breakthrough nicotine withdrawal
regular review is essential to tailor the dose and monitor progress
it is important to emphasize that the smoker should abstain completely from smoking while using NRT
Their doses and duration, side effects and contraindications.
Bupropion
Bupropion is a prescription oral drug used to treat depression and help patients quit smoking. It works by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, promoting pleasurable feelings and lessening withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. When the drug is taken daily exactly as directed by a physician, patients usually start feeling better within about one month. The risk of serious side effects or overdose is relatively low, but potentially life-threatening reactions can occur if the drug is abused.
Antidepressants and anti-smoking aids such as bupropion are classified as dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Depression and withdrawal symptoms are closely associated with a lack of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, and bupropion helps to increase levels. The drug blocks the sites on neural cells that normally reabsorb the neurotransmitters, allowing them to build up in the brain. With more dopamine and norepinephrine available, anxiety decreases while pleasurable feelings increase.

People who take bupropion as a smoking cessation aid are allowed to keep smoking for the first week or two of treatment. Over the course treatment, urges to smoke and withdrawal symptoms tend to lessen and eventually disappear completely. Some patients are instructed to use nicotine patches or gum in combination with bupropion, but the use of other aids must be recommended by the prescribing doctor to prevent adverse reactions.
Illustrated Handbook of Drugs & Alcohol Related Health Issues
A person who suffers from clinical depression may be prescribed a generic version of bupropion or the brand name version Wellbutrin. As an anti-smoking aid, the drug is commonly marketed as Zyban. Both forms of the medication are available in extended-release capsules containing up to 150 milligrams. A doctor normally starts a patient on a low dose of the drug and gradually increases dosing amounts over a few days or weeks. Effective dosages vary between patients, and doctors take care to determine the appropriate level to maximize the drug’s effects while minimizing the chances of adverse reactions.

Patients who take bupropion are at risk of experiencing a number of side effects, most of which are mild and short-lived. Many people have headaches, mild insomnia, and loss of appetite when taking the drug. Less commonly, an individual can experience dizzy spells, migraines, nausea, and skin rashes. The medication can occasionally cause tremors, seizures, or mood swings. Patients who experience minor side effects should continue taking their medications and contact their doctors to determine if dosages need to be adjusted. Serious side effects need to be addressed at an emergency room to prevent severe health complications.
Bupropion offers an alternative to NRT. Smokers start bupropion 7 days before the negotiated quit date and take it for 7 weeks.
Absolute contraindications are:
previous seizures or significant risk of seizures
history of bipolar disorders
history of eating disorders (bulimia, anorexia)
The doses and duration, side effects and contraindications associated with bupropion Clonidine and nortriptyline, while effective, should be considered as second line agents as they have more troubling side effects.

How Effective Is Bupropion for Smoking Cessation?
The use of bupropion for smoking cessation has been shown to be very effective in helping patients stop using cigarettes. In fact, those who use buproprion are twice as likely to be successful than those who try and quit cold turkey. It is equally effective as most nicotine replacement therapies. The exact level of effectiveness, as with any drug, will typically depend on the patient. Those who have been smoking for many years may find it harder to quit than those who have not been smoking as long, as well as those who smoke an unusually large number of cigarettes per day.
Bupropion is the first non-nicotine containing drug used to help smokers quit. The exact way bupropion for smoking cessation works is not entirely understood, but it helps relieve the feelings of withdrawal symptoms related to suddenly quitting tobacco use, and it can also curb cravings for tobacco in most patients. This makes patients less likely to want a cigarette, and the body eventually becomes less nicotine dependent.
The use of bupropion for smoking cessation can be combined with other anti­smoking remedies. Since this drug doesn’t contain nicotine or tobacco, it is safe for use with nicotine patches, gum, or inhalers. Electronic cigarettes are also usually safe for use with bupropion. Many patients will have better results when multiple anti-smoking methods are used in combination with one another.

Most patients are prescribed bupropion for smoking cessation several weeks before the use of tobacco has ceased. This allows the drug to accumulate in the body so that it is more effective. It is then used for several weeks, or even months, after the last cigarette has been smoked. For most patients, it’s safe to take it for up to one year.
Bupropion is also used as an anti-depression under a different brand name. For those who smoke to relieve stress or anxiety, it may also be beneficial in that way for those who want to quit. Patients who suffer from depression or other conditions should discuss options with their doctors. It should not be assumed that taking bupropion for smoking cessation will automatically treat depression as well, since dosages and instructions may be different for each use.
Side effects can occur with bupropion, including dry mouth and insomnia. These are usually temporary and clear up on their own without additional treatment. Rarer symptoms, like stomach upset, can also occur. If any side effects are especially troublesome, or if they do not go away within a few weeks of taking the drug, a doctor should be notified.

What Factors Affect a Sufficient Bupropion Dose?
The main factors affecting the bupropion dose used are tolerance, response and the clinical indication for which it is being used. Other factors which may be taken into account include the liver and kidney function of the patient which, if compromised, may necessitate a lower dosage. There are a number of different pharmaceutical preparations of bupropion available immediate-release, slow-release and extended­release and which one is used will determine the frequency of dosage of the drug.
Bupropion is an antidepressant drug which is used to treat depression, seasonal affective disorder and in the cessation of smoking. It works by blocking the reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine in the brain, which are chemical neurotransmitters involved with mood. Bupropion may be known by different trade names in different countries, according to manufacturer, and in most countries is available by prescription only.
The sufficient bupropion dose for depression will be established by the treating doctor on a case-by-case basis. Usually the drug is started at low dose and increased slowly with the doctor monitoring response and tolerance. The bupropion dose will usually be taken three times a day for the immediate-release preparation, twice a day for the sustained release preparation and once daily for the extended-release preparation. The prescribed dose should never be exceeded without discussion with the doctor.

When using the drug to aid stopping smoking, the bupropion dose is usually started as a once daily dose and increased to twice daily after some days. The drug is started while the person is still smoking but a quitting date is established
248
before taking the first bupropion dose, usually within a week or two of starting treatment. The full course of treatment is usually two to three months and should be accompanied by non-drug supportive measures.
In patients who have hepatic (liver) dysfunction, bupropion may be contraindicated or a reduced bupropion dose or increased time between dosing may be necessary. Any underlying clinical conditions and other medications, including homeopathic, complementary and over-the-counter medications, should be discussed with the prescribing doctor before starting treatment. Interactions may occur between bupropion and other medicines.
As with any medication, adverse effects may occur. These may include agitation, insomnia, headache and nausea. Seizures have also been reported, so bupropion is contraindicated in patients with pre-existing seizure disorders. The lowest effective dose will be used to minimize the possibility of adverse effects and medical advice should be sought if they do occur.
