RESUMO

As preocupantes perspectivas epidemiológicas do tabagismo levaram a OMS a publicar em 1999 a Declarção sobre o Tratamento da Dependência do Tabaco, que reconhece a eficácia do tratamento de cessação tabágica e recomenda a sua implementação como medida prioritán a de saúde pública.

A terapêutica de substituição da nicotina, apoiada em bases científicas, é hoje um dado adquirido do ponto de vista da efidcia e da eficiencia.

Referem-se as Guidelines para a Cessação Tabágica do National Health Service inglês, de Dezembro de 1998, baseadas na evidênda científica, e cujo objectivo é integrar as intervenções de cessação tabágica nos cuidados clínicos de rotina.

Rebatem-se algumas “ideias feitas” adversas a terapêutica de substituição da nicotina.

Abordam-se os beneficios das novas formas de apresenta~ao de nicotina (spray nasa] e inalador) e deoutras terapêuticas farmacológicas não-nicotina (bupropion) para a dependência tabágica.

ABSTRACT

The frightening epidemiological perspectives of smoking led the World Health Organization to issue a Statement on Treatment for Tobacco Dependence, which acknowledges the effectiveness of treatment for smoking cessation and recommends its implementation as a first priority in public heath measures.

The nicotine replacement therapy is nowadays scientificaUy based, both as to its effectiveness and as to its cost-effectiveness.

The Smoking Cessation Guidelines by the British National Health Service, of December 1998, are referred, with their scienlific research evidencebased recommendations whose aim is to integrate the interventions of smoking cessation in the routine medical care.

Some common false beliefs against nicotine replacement therapy are refuted.

The benefits of new presentation fonns of nicotine (nasal spray and inhaler) as well as of other phannacological non-nicotine therapies (bupropion) for tobacco dependence are looked at.
