Abstract

Objective: Tobacco is the most common cause of diseases and death worldwide. Pointing out the economic, social, and other damages of tobacco and tobacco products, which also cause addiction, is important when evaluated in a modern concept, where health is defined as the general well-being of a person in physical, mental, and social terms. This study evaluated the results of patients treated in a smoking cessation clinic at a second-level state hospital.
