Smoking cessation
Commissioned by the United Health Foundation, we present the findings of a systematic review on the interventions for smoking cessation, together with the evidence on health benefits from quitting. Scott Sherman provides a toolkit that equips primary care clinicians with a 12-step guide to a systems approach to help patients stop smoking.

[Erratum] Interventions for smoking cessation, Antidepressants, p 19: Bupropion is not a selective serotonin/norepinephrine uptake inhibitor (SSNRI). Its mechanism of action in promoting smoking cessation is unknown, but presumed related to noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic pathways.[Zyban, Physician' Desk Reference 2007, Thomson PDR, Montvale, NJ, p 1644.] We regret the error.
