Smoking remains a prevalent habit with serious consequences for
public health. There are now effective treatments for nicotine addiction and, in the UK, specialist services for the treatment of
smoking cessation are becoming available in all areas. This paper
reviews the role of treatments for nicotine addiction in the
management of smoking cessation. Recommendations are made for the
judicious use of these therapies and also for the rational use of the
new UK smoking cessation services.
