    Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of morbidity and premature mortality in developed countries. Several thousand different substances have been identified in cigarette smoke to ... date, some of which are pharmacologically active, others are cytotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. Nicotine is the addictive drug which is responsible for addiction to cigarettesmoke. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer and cardiovascular atherosclerotic diseases are the most common causes of premature morbidity and mortality among smokers. Approximately 85% of deaths occurring as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are related to smoking. Among those who develop lung cancer, only about 10% are non-smokers. Approximately 20% of deaths resulting from coronary heart disease are due to smoking. The birth weight of newborns born to mothers who smoke is on average 170 g lower than in those born to non-smokers. Cessation of smoking dramatically reduces the risk of diseases related to smoking. Physicians who are aware of their patients smoking should repeatedly warn them of the risks they are exposed to and assist them in their efforts to stop smoking. Pharmacological preparations are also available as aids to stop smoking.
