Summary

Tobacco consumption is a major public health problem, ranking second in the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, in 2010. The prevalence of tobacco smoking in hospitalized patients is evaluated around 20% and the management of tobacco reduction/cessation is an major issue for the course and outcome of many disorders.

Recent recommendations published by the French National Health Authority ("Haute Autorité de Santé", HAS) call for the involvement of all health professionals in helping patients to stop smoking and hospitalized patients are identified as a specific target. In addition, the meta-analysis of Rigotti et al. (2012) showed that the most effective programs (tobacco cessation) were those that include all patients, starting during the hospitalization with a specific follow-up of at least one month, and with the addition of nicotine replacement therapy. This combination increased the odds of successful tobacco cessation by 54%.

The project aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy (1 month) of a nurse-based program on tobacco smoking consumption in a population of hospitalized patients.
