In June, 2000, the Public Health Service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published the Clinical Practice Guideline Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence (PHS Guideline). This Public Health Service (PHS) guideline describes
tobacco dependence as a chronic disease. This model recognizes the long-term nature of the disorder with an expectation that patients may have periods of relapse and remission requiring ongoing, rather than just acute care. This Guideline also reviews
the evidence on treatment effectiveness and concludes that there is a dose-response effect of treatment, such that brief interventions work but more intensive interventions are even more effective.
