This book constitutes a major new resource for professionals
working with hard core smokers and their families. It is designed
as a practical, clinically useful and up-to-date guide for all
those in a position to intervene: mental health professionals,
physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other health care
professionals, clergy, human resource and employee assistance
program corporate staff, and teachers and guidance counselors. New
research suggests that difficult-to-treat smokers often have
emotional problems adjusting to stopping smoking. Some also have
psychiatric diagnoses or abuse other substances. These are factors
which interfere with their efforts to quit. Because these
difficulties have been poorly understood, hard-core smokers have
not been provided with adequate resources and skills to overcome
their addiction. These smokers are in need of increasingly
comprehensive assessment and treatment. Despite massive public
health education about the dangers of cigarette smoking, rates of
smoking among the population are no longer declining in the United
States and the success rates of clinical programs for smokers
remain low. Helping the Hard-Core Smoker seeks to explain why
current approaches are often inadequate and how best to help
today's highly nicotine-dependent smokers who are struggling with
their addiction quit.
