NEW PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE GUIDELINE CALLS ON HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO MAKE TREATING TOBACCO DEPENDENCE A TOP PRIORITY
Health care professionals have new evidence and tools to help patients quit using tobacco, according to a report issued today by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS). And a private–sector panel of experts convened by the federal government today challenged all clinicians, insurance plans, purchasers, and medical school officials to use the evidence in the new guideline to make treating tobacco dependence a top priority.
Also today, President Clinton will issue a memorandum directing executive departments and agencies to encourage federal employees to stop smoking, to promote greater use of available smoking cessation programs, and to review current federal tobacco cessation programs in light of these new guidelines.
The PHS guideline, "Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: A Clinical Practice Guideline," contains evidence–based information about first–line pharmacologic therapies (bupropion SR, as well as nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, and nasal sprays) and second–line therapies (clonidine and nortriptyline). It also highlights new evidence about how telephone counseling can help patients quit.
"There has never been a better time for health professionals to help their patients break free from the deadly chronic disease we know as tobacco addiction," said David A. Satcher, MD, Assistant Secretary for Health/Surgeon General. "Starting today, every doctor, nurse, health plan, purchaser, and medical school in America should make treating tobacco dependence a top priority
