Abstract

The World Health Organization has identified noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) as one of the greatest challenges of this century, accounting for 71% of deaths worldwide. Smoking is considered one of the main modifiable risk factors affecting NCDs. There is ample evidence linking smoking to cardiovascular disease, particularly ischemic heart disease. The 2016 European Society of Cardiology Cardiovascular Prevention Guidelines establish smoking cessation as a class I, level of evidence A recommendation. The effect of nicotine generates a strong addiction that triggers a withdrawal syndrome when attempting to quit smoking. Therefore, it is necessary to be familiar with the strategies for the treatment of tobacco addiction, which include: minimal intervention, cognitive-behavioral resources and pharmacological treatment such as nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion and varenicline. At present, there is insufficient scientific evidence to recommend electronic devices.
