The Smoking Cessation Clinic operates once a week and is dedicated to patients who are smokers suffering from respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and other serious illnesses.
This clinic offers group therapy sessions for approximately five patients at a time, creating a supportive environment to help them achieve their goal of quitting smoking.
During the initial visit, patients complete a questionnaire to assess their level of nicotine dependence. Additionally, exhaled carbon monoxide levels are measured, and spirometry tests are conducted for those who have not had recent examinations.
The duration of the treatment is determined from the day the patient quits smoking. The first three sessions take place in consecutive weeks, and the programme is then tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Patients have access to nicotine substitutes and other approved smoking cessation medications. The cost of nicotine substitutes does not exceed the cost of the cigarettes they are currently buying.
Similar clinics in Europe that employ these methods have success rates of up to 60%.
The Smoking Cessation Clinic team consists of a pulmonologist and a psychologist, both experienced in smoking cessation. There is also collaboration with a nutritionist to support patients concerned about weight gain.
The Smoking Cessation Clinic will be a point of reference for patients, offering them the opportunity to seek help again in case of relapse.
The operation of the Smoking Cessation Clinic represents an innovative service for both the public and private sectors, significantly contributing to the health and well-being of patients.
